Purify
His past was full of mistakes and darkness. No one could describe him as pure. In fact his body was physical evidence to the contrary; part man, part machine. His body marked him for what he was but he needed to purify himself to deserve this crew. He would put his past behind him to focus on the future and replace the evil with hope and determination.
The kid's hero had been pure despite all his wrongs. Tom had told him about some of the great pirates; Whitebeard, Shanks, Mihawk. They were all from an era of greatness. An era of pure integrity and dedication. It didn't matter that they were pirates, they had a pureness to their souls.
He needed to be like that, he needed to cleanse his soul of his past mistakes. It was only after doing this would he be acceptable as part of the crew of Shanks' protégé.
