After eating, Barbosa and Zoro got back to training, they first did some review from the previous days work and this time Barbosa barely managed to best Zoro every time but he hadn't learned armament haki yet so it was only by sheer observation that Barbosa was winning.

"Alright, very good" Zoro said

"Now we'll move on to the next type of haki, you may think that observation is all you need but when you're facing any of the four emperors, heck even the world government you're gonna need to channel that into your weapons or whatever you're using. For example that idiot chef."
"You mean Sanji" Barbosa interrupted

"Yes that guy, he channels his energy into his legs as he kicks and stuff, Luffy does it through his fists and punches. What you need to do is channel it and infuse it into your swords."

"Unlike the observation lesson, you and I aren't going to fight, I've borrowed some dummies from Law that he's not using anymore so I want you to try to first use what you've learnt and then channel it to your swords and then cut them"

"Aye" replied Barbosa

Barbosa got the idea of it and tried to strike the dummies but to Zoros disapproval he realized that Zoro was asking him to do different cutting techniques, like a diagonal strike or a vertical cut or a thrust forward so trial and error ensued but after a couple hours Barbosa finally got it.

For the first dummy he ran then leapt in the air and delivered a vertical strike, the second one he spun and did a backwards diagonal slash, then for the final blow he did a spin attack.

"Zoro got up from where he was sitting and applauded "I must admit you're pretty good Barbosa, pretty soon you'll have to do that with real people though which I would assume that you have been killing pirates in your world"

"Aye I was a feared pirate for years until Jack came and defeated me back when I stole the pearl from him." Barbosa said

All that was said from Zoro was
"Well you'll do just fine."

After their little encounter with Zoro and Barbosa 
Sanji and Will continued their training.

"What I'm going to teach you today is essentially what I pulled on you during our fight, but I'm going to make you like fighting with your legs and not your fists." Said Sanji

"But why would I fight with my legs? Fists are a whole let better in my opinion." Asked Will

"Trust me you can defeat a whole lot more enemies by using your legs then you can your hands" Sanji replied

Sanji had Will do some stretches first before doing anything and unlike Zoro he wanted Will to learn both types of haki and then focus on his leg work.

Will picked up observation haki very quickly but he took a little bit of time to perfect armament and after what seemed like a whole day but realistically it was only 3 hours he was worn out.

Sanji gave him time to get his strength and breath back before continuing on to the fighting section of the training which he would do the next day as dinner time was close and he needed to cook for everyone.
