This time she produces a huge hollow, at least four times the size of Usopp, which grabs Usopp in its mouth and will not let go, leaving Perona time to go and return to her body. She detonates it, but the explosion gets sucked into the impact Dial, which Usopp cleverly brought out. He uses this on a Zombie-Hippo which was sneaking up, breaking his arm, but he then reveals that he stuck Perona's arm to the wall; he makes her faint and therefore wins the battle by first firing hundreds of little moving fake cockroaches onto her, and then smacking her over the head with an inflatable ten-ton hammer.

After an intense sword fight, during which the entire roof collapses to the ground below, Zoro finally defeats Ryuma using a technique which sets him ablaze. Zoro lands hard on the lip of the roof below. Ryuma manages to land on a higher ledge. Ryuma staggers slightly, then acknowledges his defeat at Zoro's hands. Sheathing Shusui, Ryuma throws it to Zoro. Ryuma collapses in a gout of flames and Brook's shadow is finally returned to him, to his great joy.

After her death, Hogback agreed to serve Moria in exchange for his reviving her. Chopper becomes furious and attempts to attack and purify Cindry, but Cindry's strength, and Zoro and Sanji's zombies prevent them from doing so.

Moria takes advantage of Luffy's bewilderment at Oars and quickly escapes, though Luffy immediately starts chasing after him while Oars begins hunting down the other Straw Hats. Oars' moving around the island causes many disturbances and he interrupts just as Chopper is about to throw Hogback to the ground. Hogback is trampled by Oars while Cindry again is unable to move. As Oars continues to move he also disrupts the battle between Sanji and Absalom.
