As showed by Gaban, Emperors, Whitebeard and all of those of the old generation were people that hardly were easy to deal with, Rocks and his crew could battle both Knights, Marines and Roger's crew, and by the results seems like only Rocks died at the battle, meaning that the rest literally fought at that island AND survived, also the domini reversi seems to work if the subject is alive, it's not like Moriah's fruit, which also explains the boost in abilities, the victim isn't a dead body, it's a living thing being controlled.
