I've been watching some videos about the differences between the Naruto manga and anime, and it's incredible how they've changed and added certain things that make certain characters look bad today, like Sakura or Hiruzen, who still have bad qualities, but I feel like the anime over-exaggerated it. This makes me think about all the fanfics and theories that talk about these points in certain ways, which show that they've only seen the anime, since these characters are horrible, even bordering on evil, bordering on ultimate villains. I've only seen the anime, and I don't have the time to read the whole thing if I wanted to.
To sum up, if you're going to make fanfics, get inspiration from the manga, which is the original source material; the anime is an adaptation. And Boruto will never be canon, at least not for me.
It should be noted that I have the entire next arc already written, and I will pay to be up to date with the original, I decided to translate the entire arc and upload it right away, but that will be on Thursday, but when I am up to date, I will not upload two chapters but one, since I write one chapter per two days, for academic reasons and because I also want free time for myself.

Sleep, cook, celebrate, sleep, cook, celebrate, sleep, cook, celebrate, sleep, cook, celebrate, sleep, cook, celebrate, sleep, cook, celebrate, sleep. That's all I've done during this trip to Welliston. I've also been writing the books for Morgans, the first of which is ready, but the second is still missing.
I've also been looking into what Devil Fruit I could give Hun. I'm thinking of giving him the Neko Neko no Mi no Mi or the Cat Cat no Mi, but the lion model.
(Note: don't expect that because I'll change my mind)
And speaking of my traveling companions, Trini has been practicing her aim, through fishing or shooting objects from a distance. Arthur has been studying the alchemy book, and I've also forced him to train with Nemesis. With his skill, he can make gloves that can touch sea rocks and, by default, the weapon. Sullivan has integrated well into the group, helping everyone on the ship. I had him train like the others. With the martial arts book, we found a style that suits his fighting style. Finally, I noticed he's been trying to get closer to Trini little by little. Well, as I said, he's been trying, since it hasn't worked out for him. I think he likes her, and she hasn't realized it yet. But if he wants something with her, he'll have to stop over my dead body, otherwise he wouldn't be a good brother.
I don't like Trini in a romantic way; on the contrary, she scares me. I think Sullivan has something loose by attempting such a suicidal maneuver.
I haven't been slacking off completely either. I've also entered and managed to learn all the rokushiki styles, which gave me 300,000PL. I think there's a hidden technique in these styles, but I don't know it and I don't know how to train it, so I'll leave it at that.
Another important thing is about my Haki Awakening. I have them all awake, but the only one I can control is Observation, and I can't fight with my teammates to try to use it again, since our combat level is still quite uneven. I'm thinking about teaching them all six styles, even if it's just one or two styles.
But back to the present, we've been traveling for a while now. Like the previous ones, I'd stop on certain islands to trade or do other important things. We'd suggest running errands, helping those in need, among other things. This helps us improve our group's reputation.
Between missing cats and helping out in a contest to see who eats the most hamburgers, it's been entertaining. Not all problems are always going to be related to thugs or pirates. Yes, there were some like that, but there were only two, and with my presence as a hero of Paradise, they surrendered immediately.
If I'm not mistaken, they say I'm at the level of a supernova. I honestly don't know if that's true. Luckily for them, I haven't encountered any yet, but I plan on going to Sabaody, and I'll probably find some.
I honestly don't see any common pirates or supernovas as a threat, but for going to the New World, I'd like my partner to be more prepared, and to be able to control Haki, even if it's at the beginner level.
Now, when we get to Welliston, I'll see how they perform to see if we go to the New World now or later.
That said, they've been pushing themselves to surpass their limits, so I don't think they're far from being at a more basic level for that place.
Currently, the names that are heard there are Whitebeard and Bigmom. Others, like Kaido and the other former rock pirates, are rarely heard. Hachinosu is already in Ochoku's hands, but I'll take care of him later.
Another fact is that it's been almost a year since the meeting I had with my father, and also Arthur's birthday. The days are almost continuous.
I think I'll increase the training for the kids; they'll thank me in the future.
*Passage of time*
Trini: "Are you sure about this?" she sounds doubtful.
Dante: "Very sure."
They wondered what we were doing. Well, the ship landed on an island, and we were going to be here for a few days, since there was a problem with the ship's engines.
So an idea occurred to me: if I couldn't train Armor Haki, why try Observation Haki? So now we're about to start a sparring match, but with our eyes covered. Arthur and Sullivan were supervising us in case anyone gets hurt.
This wasn't a normal sparring match, as we'd be using weapons, with me using my sword, and Trini using Nemesis, Ebony, and Ivory. We'll skip the anti-tank skills this time.
(I also thought about bayonetta guns but didn't mention them because they're magical and don't match the character's fighting style.)
Trini would be using Nemesis for the same reason Arthur would be using it to deal with enemies with annoying fruits, at least until she learns Armor Haki, more specifically imbuing objects with Haki. It's another reason I'm training with her. It's of utmost importance that both Trini and Arthur learn Armor Haki.
Arthur: "Who do you think will win?"
Sullivan: "Trini will win," Arthur looked at him doubtfully, "it's because of the guns, that gives Trini a huge advantage, that's all," he said, his ears red. How could he know that with his eyes covered? Well, it was pure instinct.
Arthur: "Okay, you're ready," he told us.
Dante and Trini: "YES!!!!"
Arthur: "START."
*an hour later*
Well, I returned to the medical room. Arthur and Sullivan were with me. Trini went to get something to eat and torment the shop owners.
Sullivan: "I told you I'd win."
Arthur: "I think any man in Dante's situation would have lost. After all, no one can resist a kick in the balls."
I wasn't listening much to them thanks to the pain in my balls, accompanied by one in the head. I think the kick sent an egg straight to my cerebellum.
It's not all bad, though. With this, I was able to dazzle a little with Observation Haki's ability to see the future. Even though I can't control it, I could only see the future for 1 seconds. Trini was able to do it, but only for 0,5 second. I'm winning.
Just like we'll be ready when we head to the New World.
And so the passage of time swept away our days. The days following the trip remained the same, except I decided to increase my exercise routine, adding that I would wear blindfolds for the rest of the trip. Trini would do the same, but not all the time. According to her, it was enough that they made fun of me when I tripped and fell face first, so I wouldn't feel the same pain.
Also, something we all worked hard on was being able to communicate with Hun. Not only were we able to understand more of what she was trying to communicate, but she was also able to say certain words like "hello," "here come the pirates," or "people die when they're murdered."
Now, leaving aside the joke about Shirou's Spanish dubbing in Fate, being able to communicate with Hun gave us the opportunity for her to patrol the ship, allowing other people to sleep.
Although there haven't been any major problems with pirates on the islands, there have been at sea. Usually, when something happens, Arthur and I don't just hang around, waiting for them to get within a safe distance and then power outage their ship, causing them to escape or sinking the ship if it's too weak.
But other than those details, everything has been going very well. Now we just need to get to Welliston to see what the hell is going on there. If all goes well, we could go straight to Sabaody, hunt some pirates for the bounty, get more LP, and then head straight to the New World.
Besides, I have a bad feeling, and I'm not the only one. Trini also feels something is going to go wrong. I can trust her judgment, but I already made a deal with Morgans, so we can't chicken out. We have to go and finish this as soon as possible. We shouldn't take so long with this whole thing, but I think I'm jinxing her by thinking all this.
Because as Murphy's Law goes, "If something goes wrong, it will go wrong." And something tells me this is going to happen right now.
POV ???
In a dark room, there's only a candle, on it, a desk where a person is writing. Suddenly, someone knocks on the door.
???: "Come in," said the voice, still staring at what he was writing.
A man and a woman entered the office.
???: "What happened this time?"
Man: "A person has refused to pay his taxes to our church. What should we do?"
???: "Kill that person and his entire family, burn down his house, and let him make himself feel like the wrath of God by not paying his church taxes."
Man: "Yes, sir," he said, turning around and leaving.
???: "And you?"
Woman: "The prime minister asks if you already have a candidate for the princess's fiancé."
???: "So," he said thoughtfully, "in the end, we're not going to marry her off; we're going to give her to a world noble in exchange for some benefits."
Woman: "And what would those benefits be?"
He looked at the woman in front of him and smiled. From there, he pulled out a chest from under the desk.
???: "This is the benefit, paid in advance." At that moment, he opened the chest, showing the contents to the woman, who was a Devil Fruit.
