"Are you slow?" The Rear-Admiral tilts his head, "you're just like Coby!" He laughs and explains, anyway. "You're only a pirate 'cause you wanna be free," Luffy tells him, eyes the most serious he's seen them, "and being free isn't a crime."
(There's nothing to it, and the detail is so small that it escapes Dave's retelling. When the Rear-Admiral states his belief, a single hand reaches for his head, curls amidst black locks, and eventually lowers to rub at the tattoo choking the Rear-Admiral's throat. The ink is black, and it seems to shine over the skin.)
