Why this matters

A henchman dying with his master’s name on his lips, crowning him “King of the Pirates,” is a classic Oda chekhov-explicit loyalty-install: it reframes Doflamingo from a remote underworld broker into the apex of a feudal, family-style organization whose members will die for him — and pre-loads the Dressrosa-arc excavation of why (the “young master” honorific, the Donquixote past).
