Chapter 34 The Troublesome Borsalino
"Borsalino, your application to build a swimming pool on the warship for the physical and mental health of the marines has been approved, but the pilot program is temporarily limited to your ship!"

Marshal Zhan Guo threw the stamped document over with a dark face.

Building a swimming pool on a warship is ridiculous, but it is better than letting Borsalino go on the job.

"Oh! We can finally build a swimming pool on the boat! That's great! I'll go find someone to modify it right away!"

Borsalino had not expected that Marshal Sengoku had this skill. He was truly worthy of being called the "wise general" of the navy.

Seeing Borsalino leaving the office with the application form satisfied, Marshal Zhan Guo breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the former Grand Admiral of the Navy before the Warring States Period, Steel Bone Sora, had no good way to deal with Borsalino, who became an admiral of the Navy almost at the same time as him.

This guy doesn't care about power or money, and he doesn't have any goals to pursue like Sakaski or Kuzan.

The position in the navy is just a job for Borsalino. It is already good enough that he can complete his work while slacking off. It is undoubtedly too much to expect him to work overtime.

It stands to reason that a nobody like Borsalino would be unlikely to be welcomed by his superiors.

However, Borsalino was too powerful, and had made enough contributions without realizing it, so he was eventually promoted to admiral of the navy.

In order to make Borsalino work well, the two successive admirals tried their best and finally figured out this way to get along with Borsalino.

However, as long as Borsalino's laziness and idleness can be tolerated, in a sense this guy is actually the best subordinate.

At least Borsalino will not be too willful, and even if he is passive and lazy, it is within the scope permitted by the rules.

"Swimming pool, swimming pool... Should we go outdoors or indoors... Ha, I almost forgot to discuss this with little Nami first!"

Borsalino was very self-aware. Marshal Zhan Guo's approval of his building a swimming pool was already the bottom line. Even if there was a warning of "passive sabotage", Marshal Zhan Guo would never agree to use the navy's budget to build a swimming pool for Borsalino.

Unless Borsalino is willing to threaten with a strike, there is really no need to think about it carefully.

Building a swimming pool, even on a warship, would only cost tens of millions of Baileys at most. It was not worth using one's trump card for such a small sum of money.

"Nami-chan, I'm back~"

Borsalino, dressed in a formal admiral uniform and windbreaker, walked into the office. For some reason, Nami preferred to see Borsalino in a navy uniform.

Therefore, every time Borsalino wanted to please Nami, he would take the initiative to put on this "battle suit". In this way... as long as the request was not too excessive, Nami would generally agree.

"Humph!"

Nami, who was writing and drawing behind Borsalino's luxurious desk, was delighted when she heard the voice.

Then he wrinkled his nose and snorted cutely.

The damn guy was gone for more than ten days and only called me twice. It's really too much!
"Hey, don't be angry, look what I brought you..."

Borsalino was prepared. He took out an exquisite necklace from his pocket and walked to Nami with a smile.

After a few rounds of sweet talk, Nami was easily coaxed into smiling. Then he took the opportunity to take out the application for building a swimming pool and asked Nami to arrange the construction of the swimming pool.

As Borsalino's lieutenant and financial officer, Nami is not only responsible for managing Borsalino's private treasury, but also in charge of all the budgets and expenses under Borsalino's name that can be put on the table.

"The current shipwrights and engineering department personnel of our headquarters are busy repairing warships and strengthening fortresses. I am afraid that we will not be able to transfer personnel in a short period of time."

After accepting the gift, Nami sat in Borsalino's arms very naturally. Her petite figure compared to Borsalino's tall body made her look like a big doll.

"Oh, is that so... Then why not ask other branches or the shipbuilders of the Seven Water City to do the reconstruction?"

Borsalino has been looking forward to the swimming pool for a long time. As a devil fruit user, he cannot swim in the sea. The effective ingredient PYROBROIN contained in the seawater will make him feel weak.

When there is a swimming pool, he can swim in the water that has been specially treated to remove the PYROBROIN. Of course, the main point is that he can see little Nami in a bikini.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Your ship has been incorporated into the battle sequence as the first line of defense to blockade the outer sea. If you go to other branches or even the Seven Water Cities, you won't be able to reach the combat position within the scheduled time..."

Nami showed a slightly distressed expression.

She was not as enthusiastic about the swimming pool as Borsalino, but having a swimming pool on the ship was something worth looking forward to.

"It has been incorporated into the combat sequence... By the way, Nami, how many years has my ship been in service?"

Borsalino stroked his chin, a meaningful expression on his face.

"Your flagship? I remember that this one was assigned to you eleven years ago. Including the six years before that, it has been in service for a total of seventeen years." As Borsalino's adjutant, Nami was very competent. She even remembered clearly how many times Borsalino's flagship had undergone repairs.

"Is it possible... to exchange my flagship with the warship that blocks the port's defense line..."

Borsalino was not a picky person, otherwise he would have refused to use the old ship as his flagship.

However, it is a rare opportunity to get a new boat, and it is a legitimate exchange of an old boat for a new one. What reason is there to refuse?

"Is this okay?"

Nami instantly understood Borsalino's intention, which was to take the initiative to send the flagship to the front line.

In this way, as long as the ship is sunk, there will naturally be a reason to ask Marshal Zhan Guo to replace it with a new ship.

Moreover, as Borsalino was a naval admiral, any new ship assigned to him had to be the best.

"That ship should have been obsolete in a few years. Our headquarters has begun to equip itself with new warships inlaid with seastone. Is it reasonable for an admiral like me to still use an old ship?"

Borsalino spoke in annoyance, completely forgetting that the headquarters had wanted to change his ship several times before, but he refused on the grounds that he was too lazy to move.

At that time, Borsalino's idea was very simple. As long as he kept using the old ship that was slow and could not cross the doldrums, he would not have to carry out those troublesome tasks.

After all, in most of the troublesome missions, by the time his ship arrived, those who needed to run had almost all run away, and with that old-fashioned warship, it would be impossible to catch up even if it wanted to.
