Look, I'm a pirate, okay, goldie? Not a reader. (There were always more important things to do, and Marco was the real reader of the bunch, anyway. Also ancient as fuck, so that explains a lot. He waves a hand dismissively at the first bit.) I know all that much, at least.

(Ace may not be the brightest pirate around, but he's not a total idiot. Picking up on cues, he can do at least. Between the hat, her overall attitude since he showed his face, and those words? Yep, he gets it.) I was here before, wasn't I? That's how you got my hat. I left it for you.
