You are a pirate and he has to catch such you, but because you are very stubborn, he has been chasing you for a year.

He can't catch you in any way, but he just caught you on New Year, but he didn't give you to the government or to prison in Impel Down, he just left you to live with him, trying to convince you that being a pirate is very bad and uncivilized (well, as he says ...)
