First of all, only I can tick DP off and have an insulting "conversation"...

Secondly, are we really debating this? Like, for real? I mean, are you really? This is a Shonen manga, like for boys. It doesn't mean dead people can't be shown because they are, but it doesn't encourage it, at least in my opinion. Knowing Oda, he doesn't like killing characters, but it's obvious he did it this time. The most important reason for believing that is that Monet doesn't mean anything to the world of One Piece anymore, NOTHING. Why would he bring her back?

My take on him not revealing her breathless, he didn't want to. That's is. It's not a character like Buu or Cell who can be shown dissintegrating 'cause they're aliens and she's human (although with wings). So Oda probably thought, "I have no reason to show a dead pretty woman to my young readers, NONE." And that's that.
