Luffy and Nami were defeated by Big Mom's army, Perospero went to the Prisoner Library to watch the captive Straw Hat Pirates on display inside a book, Perospero then laughed at how Luffy had tried to challenge her. His younger brother; Anglais then arrived to inform Perospero and his siblings that the Room of Treasure has been infiltrated by an intruder. On the day of the wedding, Perospero welcomed some of the guests that arrived and made a candy escalator so they can arrive at the wedding venue quickly and handed out lollipops to the children that participated. Perospero then participated in the festivities and celebrated when Sanji and Charlotte Pudding arrived for their wedding. After Luffy began causing chaos at the wedding, Perospero along with several of his siblings witnessed Jinbe resigning from the Big Mom Pirates.
Moments later, despite Brook destroying the picture of Mother Carmel, Perospero proceeded with the plan of killing the Vinsmokes and incapacitates them to their seats with candy. He then began mocking Judge as the commander of Germa 66 cried due to Big Mom's betrayal, but soon became distracted by a call from Capone Bege. As he went after Luffy, Charlotte Katakuri ordered Perospero to kill the Vinsmokes. Moments later, Luffy caused Big Mom to start screaming to the top of her lungs, which incapacitated Perospero and his siblings before they could kill the Vinsmokes. This act allowed Sanji to free his family from their grasp and allowed them to reclaim their raid suits.
Perospero and his siblings were later given mochi earplugs by their brother Katakuri and got back on their feet. They tried once more to kill the Vinsmokes.

He did offer them a chance to escape, but the two Straw Hats refused, intent on reclaiming their ship. After Brook and Chopper defeated numerous Chess Soldiers on the Sunny's deck, Perospero simply reminded them of his belief that none of their friends were coming back. He then took direct action against the two Straw Hats, covering them with candy and intending to kill them by turning them into candy. Katakuri then told Perospero that they would soon have company, and Perospero thought it would just be Big Mom, but was shocked as he saw the Straw Hats emerge while still being chased by her. He sent a candy iron maiden that was covered in spikes at the Straw Hats, but Luffy destroyed it with a fiery punch, to his great shock.
Perospero ordered Mont-d'Or through a Den Den Mushi to surround the coast with battleships. While standing on the coast, he trapped the Sunny in candy before the Straw Hats could fly away on the ship with Coup de Burst. Perospero was then attacked by Pedro, but he was able to block the mink's strike before pinning him to the ground. However, he was surprised as Pedro lit some bombs in his jacket, engulfing Perospero in a suicidal blast, which also freed Chopper and Brook from his candy.
Perospero survived the explosion, but was grievously injured and lost his right arm. He got back on his feet but could not stop the Thousand Sunny from escaping the coast with Coup De Burst.
