Because tattoo removal or makeup doesn't exist in this world. And let's assume for some weird reason, getting his arm cut off was the only way to get rid of it, or conceal it, why not just get someone like Mihawk to cut his arm off? Why wait for a very specific and random incident like a little boy being in the sea after eating a legendary DF because mountain bandits threw him into the sea when you weren't there, but were about to be there. And then you let him nearly die but save him at the last second in an incredibly specific way that keeps both of you alive but you lose that particular arm you don't want anymore. I know you're doing an "Achshually" but I still have to say it.
