Why this matters

A chekhov-explicit villain-tell: a battlefield throwaway (“Oars’s corpse will be mine later”) quietly establishes Doflamingo as someone who trades in bodies and contraband, pre-loading his off-the-books broker identity. (Re-tag note: the reader proposed dialogue-from-dead-character, but the line is not literally spoken by a dead character — Oars Jr is alive and Doflamingo himself speaks it — so the technique is reduced to chekhov-explicit, the accurate primary.) Cross-link Doflamingo.
