When Ludwig was a kid, he wasn't raised and influenced by Gilbert alone. Antonio, Francis, and Arthur were around a lot, and he would get babysat by them every once in a while. Yes, great pirate captains reduced to mere babysitters.
Ludwig's favorite was Arthur, because the Brit would always show him, ahem, interesting things. He would tell him ways of tying knots tight enough for a person to be unable to escape from them, causing Ludwig to try it on Gilbert one fateful morning, he would tell him about weapons and even torture methods.
You see, pirate!Arthur was a maniac, and he corrupted lil' baby Ludwig to be one too. If you ask Ludwig nowadays about torture methods and how he learned, he'll say he learned ninety percent of them as a kid from Arthur, much to Gilbert's deep disapproval.
Ah, well.
Lil' Ludwig was freaking adorable, be he a maniac or not.
