More training with Rayleigh, then he runs into Nojiko during her training.

After he had eaten breakfast, he had headed back out to the forest to continue his training. Rayleigh had given him instructions to see if he could develop his Devil Fruit further, and he came up with an idea for a Gear Fourth, which would incorporate Haki into for absolutely devastating effectiveness if it worked. And it'd help him fight the giant creatures on Amazon Lily.

Rayleigh had told him it was potentially viable, but likely to put severe strain on his body even if he succeeded, so he was also to work on his other skills so this Gear Fourth would be saved as a last resort.

After his exhausting day of training, he headed to his tent, where he found Nojiko training under instruction from Marguerite in Haki. He smiled as he recognized the sledgehammer she was using as the one she and Genzo had tried using to free his legs back at Arlong Park.

He sat down and waited for her to finish up as he fished out the Sex Note.
