I understand your point. I still think Jalmack would've made hell for anyone who crossed him, noble family or not. That is reason enough to search for Luffy. He easily could've been trying to rebuild himself but failed, and after hearing about Luffy in the papers, he could've searched for a crew to find and kill him. I know the pirate thing was against his moral code if he even had one, but he could've reasoned it with the idea of destroying the trash of the pirate world. With all of my "could've"s and "I think"s, I'm probably not making a good point. I just think it makes sense. And the facial similarities was just an idea, nothing concrete.
