• Roger invited Garp to join his crew if he quit the Navy, but Garp refused and pointed out Oak behind them.
• Oak rejected the idea of joining Roger’s crew and called it a playhouse adventure crew.

Oak joined Garp and Roger against a mind-controlled Rocks, explaining that killing Rocks completely could free him from the control. After Rocks overwhelmed Oak with a single strike, the three faced the problem of how to penetrate his powerful Conqueror's Haki defense.

• Oak arrived behind Garp and Roger and told them Rocks was being controlled and had become an empty shell.

• As Rocks pursued the wounded Oak, Garp and Roger finished gathering their strength and intercepted him.

Oak, Roger, and Garp freed Rocks from Black-Turn Domination with their combined attack, but the strike left Rocks mortally injured. Oak considered using a Devil Fruit to heal him, while Rocks warned that Imu still intended to kill him; Garling and the God's Knights then approached.
