Aboard Garp’s warship, Lorne began learning Garp’s Fist Bone technique and endured relentless training as his body rapidly recovered from each beating. When his progress began to slow, Lorne decided to train in the sea, and Garp let him jump overboard despite the danger of Sea Kings.

• Zephyr questioned Lorne about Garp’s training, then explained how the Six Powers could address the limits of brute strength and revealed Rokuogan as their ultimate technique.

• After more than a hundred failed attempts, Lorne grew exhausted, and Zephyr warned that he would need to hone Soru between life and death.

Zephyr put Lorne through a brutal training session, forcing him to improve his Soru and Kami-e while relying on his recovery to keep fighting. After Lorne collapsed, Zephyr carried him to the officers' mess hall, where Lorne woke to a huge feast.

After witnessing Lorne’s miraculous recovery, Zephyr took him to the Marine Headquarters hospital, where tests confirmed his superhuman constitution, then urged him to balance training with rest.

Lorne defeated every recruit at Training Ground No. 1 by combining the Six Powers into an overwhelming fighting style, impressing Sengoku, Tsuru, Garp, and Zephyr.

• Zephyr warned Lorne that his strength and principles depended on absolute strength, then promised to break him down and rebuild him.

• Lorne drew on his fierce confidence and sense of justice, but punched the post with his bare fist instead of using Haki.
• Lorne hurt his hand, and Zephyr yelled at him for relying on muscle rather than will.

Zephyr tried to teach Lorne to use will by showing him Armament Haki Hardening firsthand. Lorne’s Iron Body failed against Zephyr’s Haki-enhanced punch, leaving him badly injured against the training ground wall.

• Lorne injured his fingers by striking the alloy training post with brute force, and Zephyr reset the bones while scolding him for ignoring the lesson about will.
• Lorne said he could not tell whether he was using will because it had no shape or color, so Zephyr decided to demonstrate it directly.
• Zephyr punched Lorne without Armament Haki, but Lorne endured the blow with Iron Body and taunted him.

• The Haki-enhanced punch pierced Lorne’s Iron Body, made him cough blood, and sent him crashing into the alloy wall.

• Zephyr told Lorne that he would train him by coating his fists in Armament Haki and striking his whole body until Lorne could cover himself with Haki at will.

Lorne learned to use Armament Haki through days of enduring Zephyr’s attacks, mastering hardening on both forearms in only five days. After their first real exchange of blows, Zephyr explained how to focus Haki efficiently and prepared to teach Lorne the next day how to sharpen his “eyes.”

• Zephyr ordered Lorne not to resist or defend as he beat him to teach him to sense Armament Haki, and Lorne endured the assault while his body regenerated.

• Lorne charged Zephyr with Haki-coated arms, and their collision forced Zephyr to step back before they sparred in a fierce exchange.
• Zephyr told Lorne that Armament Haki should be concentrated where it mattered instead of spread over the whole body, and Lorne understood.
• Zephyr said Lorne had grasped the basics of Armament Haki and announced that he would teach him to sharpen his eyes the next day.

Zephyr began teaching Lorne Observation Haki by blindfolding him and demanding that he sense attacks before they came. After struggling to quiet his restless mind, Lorne found a way to connect the training to his beast ears and realized he could seek stillness in the middle of battle.

• Lorne pretended not to know about Observation Haki, and Zephyr explained that its heightened perception could help him sense danger and seize chances to survive.
• The next day, Zephyr blindfolded Lorne and told him Observation Haki required listening to the presence of all things with a calm mind.
• Lorne failed to locate Zephyr and relied on instinct to dodge his silent attacks, but Zephyr struck him repeatedly and urged him to predict attacks before they began.
• Lorne struggled to calm his thoughts, then recalled how his beast ears let him sense hidden animals and distinguish their heartbeats.
• Lorne recognized that Observation Haki was a broader form of perception and decided to seek stillness amid the storm of combat.

• Zephyr introduced Future Sight and hit Lorne after predicting how he would react.
• Lorne got back up, excited by the challenge, and asked Zephyr to fight again.

Lorne trained with Zephyr to improve his Observation Haki, learning to read changes in airflow and dodge attacks amid deceptive signals. After Zephyr ended the session, Admiral Kizaru arrived to inspect Lorne, while Zephyr defended his student and confronted his former colleague.

• Zephyr overwhelmed Lorne with feints and explained how Observation Haki could deceive an opponent’s perception.

• Kizaru entered the training ground to see the rumored monster, and Lorne wondered aloud what an Admiral’s bones felt like.
• Zephyr blocked Kizaru from approaching Lorne and insisted that Lorne was his student and a stronger monster than Kizaru.

After Kizaru left, Lorne continued Observation Haki training with Zephyr, then followed Zephyr’s advice to meditate by the sea. Garp urged him to grow strong enough to protect those around him, and Lorne began hearing the voices of fish and rocks.

• Kizaru left the training ground after calling Lorne a monster, and Lorne said he would someday learn how to hit light and beat him.
