As they proceed to the forest, all of them except Wiper were stuck of Ordeal of String by Shura. Wiper suddenly appeared out of nowhere then attacked Shura by using a Reject Dial. Braham states that they must split up because the island is enemy's territory, they can't stay in a group or they'll be captured again. After the conversation they started to move. As he moved with one ally Shandian, Enel showed up and struck the Shandian. Enel then ordered Kamakiri to hit him, giving him five minutes to do so, while sitting in one place, not moving. He stabbed Enel in his head with his spear, but he was unable to injure Enel due to his fruit power and was struck by Enel's thunder. Kamakiri quickly used his burning sword but it just continued through the tree. He was hit by Enel's attack 10,000,000 Volts: Shock Release.
