I know I tend to jump on the dead bandwagon a lot (ignoring those for now), but this time I'm honestly torn. The whole scene calls Law's significance into question. He's either dead or Doffy's about to deal the final blow that will be interrupted or something. But Doffy isn't nonchalant like that. He's thorough as all hell. If he calls someone dead, they're dead, or at the very least not breathing. If he is dead, like I said before, his whole purpose is called into question as now he would only be seen as the enabler who got Luffy on another emperor's bad side. This manner of death is so ill befitting of a character like him. Ace and Whitebeard really set the bar for dramatic deaths, and at least Vergo and Monet (take it easy) got a dramatic line or two in before the place exploded. Law's death was offscreen completely with no ceremony, no buildup, no emotion. The only other person who comes close to this is Bartholomew Kuma, but at least with him he was only dead in mind. Doflamingo called Law a corpse. This is probably only a ploy to give Luffy some anger fuel for his fight against Doflamingo, and Law will come back through the power of Deus Ex Bullshit, but for it to come to that really says a lot about Law's role in the story both now and in the possible future.
