"Hmm? Pirate King? What does his desire to become the Pirate King have to do with me? No, that's not right. Once I kill him, he won't be able to become the Pirate King. So, it does have something to do with me."
"You…"
Monet's chest heaved with anger towards Hikaru. She unconsciously placed a hand on her chest and realized her clothes had been changed! She murmured, "My clothes..."
"Don't worry, the angels around you took care of it," Hikaru reassured her with a smile. Of course, he didn't tell Monet he was there to avoid further upsetting her.
Monet breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression remained uncertain, still skeptical of Hikaru's words.
"You are so beautiful; I can understand why you are always on guard," Hikaru tried, continuing to praise her looks to potentially awaken her "unique" attributes.
But this time, Monet's special ability wasn't triggered, as she began to panic. She carefully felt around and turned, only to discover that everything she could use to communicate with the outside world had been taken away…
How could these small actions escape Hikaru's sharp eyes? He sneered and provided the answer, "Don't bother looking. How could I let you notify Doflamingo now that you've been captured?"
Monet was stunned. She now understood her current situation. Rather than being abducted and humiliated, it would be better to end it quickly. She couldn't allow the other party to gloat or obtain any information about Doflamingo.
"Kill me! I will never surrender to you!"
After saying that, she collapsed onto the couch, adopting a posture of unyielding defiance. This look might awaken perverse desires in some "militants," causing them to act like beasts…
Hikaru looked at her determined eyes and knew she wasn't joking. It seemed she was truly prepared to die for Doflamingo.
Actually, it makes sense when you consider it. Thirteen years ago, when Monet was seventeen, she and her sister Sugar experienced a terrible event. They should have died but were saved by Doflamingo.
Monet is someone who deeply values repaying kindness, and she has been working for Doflamingo to return this great favor.
Even if it means deceiving and harming innocent people, she won't hesitate. She and Sugar have already mentally prepared themselves to sacrifice their lives. It's more a manifestation of her gratitude than simple loyalty!
[The only information I can find about why they joined the Donquixote Family is this. It's said to be from an official Vivre Card. It should be accurate, right?]
From this perspective, killing Doflamingo, who possesses the String-String Devil Fruit, would most likely result in the deaths of Monet and Sugar, which isn't a worthwhile loss…
Baby-5 is easily swayed and can be won over with just a few words upon meeting. Viola is also straightforward. She worked under her enemy Doflamingo for the sake of King Riku's life. There's no reason why she wouldn't succumb to Hikaru's control.
Hikaru hesitated for a moment. Although he knew there was no way Monet would yield today, he still couldn't help but try, just in case it worked.
"You have a sister, right? I believe her name is Sugar?"
"Damn bastard, what do you want to do?"
When Monet heard her sister's name, her lifeless eyes flickered with a brief return of vitality, but the next moment, she shook her head indifferently.
"Hehe~ Miss Monet, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your sister, would you?"
"Humph, just give up. Both Sugar and I should have died long ago. Even if you threaten me with her life, I will never give in. What's more, the Young Master will never be defeated by you. He is the man who will become the Pirate King!"
"Is that so? Don't be so certain. What if I exchange Doflamingo's life for yours and Sugar's?"
Monet said nothing, but her slightly trembling eyes revealed everything.
Hikaru chuckled. Letting Doflamingo go was impossible. He could save his life and imprison him in the Kingdom of God's prison. He could become a newspaper reader. And his identity as a Celestial Dragon might be particularly useful in certain situations.
"Think about it carefully. I hope you can make the right choice!"
After saying that, Hikaru turned to leave. Just as he reached the door, Monet spoke, her tone less harsh than before.
"You… wait until you catch the Young Master!"
"Hmph." Hikaru continued to leave, his cold voice lingering and stinging Monet's fragile nerves.
"I hope this 'Young Master' will be the last time you hear me mention him. Think carefully about what attitude you should have when I show up tomorrow with Doflamingo's head."
Upon hearing this, Monet bit her lower lip with such force that bright red blood slightly oozed from her snow-white lips. No matter how much she tried to convince herself otherwise, she couldn't ignore Hikaru's overwhelming strength.
She could see that the blue dragon form Hikaru displayed looked almost identical to Kaido's, and since Doflamingo was afraid of Kaido's power, he had no way to escape this time.
After a moment of thought, the angels brought a nutritious meal to warm her body and placed it on the small table next to the couch.
"Ms. Monet, if you are hungry, why not have a bite of this freshly made red date porridge? This is what God personally ordered~"
My Lord God…
Monet was stunned. If she wanted to stage a comeback, she needed a complete understanding of Hikaru!
She regained some of her resolve. Before Doflamingo fell, she would stick to her "post." Then, gathering her thoughts, she asked the angels curiously, "God? Is that the man from just now?"
The angels covered their mouths and smiled, replying, "Yes~ God is…"
After briefly introducing Hikaru's basic information, the angels began to praise her beauty and Hikaru's wisdom and bravery.
Once this topic arose, they seemed to have endless things to say, and like a machine gun, they "attacked" Monet with compliments without stopping.
Monet was so flattered by their praise that she felt her good looks had been acknowledged. She was distracted and couldn't halt their enthusiastic "sales pitch."
For a "canary in a cage," it's necessary to introduce her to everything about Hikaru and ensure that everything she comes into contact with is closely related to him.
Over time, her subconscious mind will be influenced, and she will develop admiration for Hikaru.

This is similar to Stockholm syndrome.
...
After Hikaru left the inner hall where Monet was, he headed north and returned to the shrine.
As the aftereffects of developing the power of the Azure Dragon Devil Fruit hadn't fully subsided, he quickly summoned a group of seven golden-haired goddesses: Conis, Kaya, Kalifa, Moda, Jessica, Mickey, and Sora.
