Don't underestimate the ways of resurrection. Aside from being brought back to one's own body(Barbossa), there are many ways to be brought back. Either as a ghost, or return as some zombie or "undead"-like thing. Take examples from other franchises, mostly book series, that deal with the resurrection of the villain(i.e. Narnia and Harry Potter).
