I really don't need my answer to be that good. Maybe he's just nice to people he respects. A lot of people are like that in the series. Look at Luffy and Smoker. Smoker's out to capture him, but when Luffy saw him on Punk Hazard he was about to go and greet him like an old college buddy before the others made him leave. There doesn't need to be an ulterior motive for acts of kindness or respect. People should be kind and helpful to each other for the sake of helping each other. You just want there to be an ulterior motive.
