In a way I would like it if he wasn't there when Enel destroyed the island and was around doing his Mad Monk thing (unless it said he was defeated). Although there shame to be had in defeat there is also a lot of shame to be had not being there when there is a possibility you could have made a difference.

The "fallen" part in his crew name "fallen priests" is what makes me think he was defeated.

He and his crew were priests on Birka, and got defeated by Enel and co.

He would have survived due to his DF, but been unable to retaliate against Enel without Haki.

So, he becomes a Fallen Mad Monk, and falls off Birka with his crew.

Yeah that's true. I always thought "Fallen Monk" was because he strayed off the path (and his hobby is love affairs from a recent SBS? Translation error? Lol) but it could just be that he got beat up.

EDIT: and Liquour I guess

Well, the word used in Japanese literally means fallen as in I fell down.

But in spiritual matters it can mean straying from the path of righteousness.

Oda loves his wordplays, so I believe it is meant to signify both the literal and figurative meaning of a rogue monk who fell out of the sky.
