Kalbi has a bunch of problems, but he's obedient, so obedient that if Adrian tells him to go east, he goes east; if he tells him to go west, he goes west.
Nothing else matters as long as he's obedient.
Adrian is afraid of meeting a self-important man who doesn't know his own limits!
Before Adrian left, he left some of his people behind. Now, everyone around Kalbi is Adrian's, which makes Kalbi feel safe; he trusts no one more than Mercer's people.
Brandon Potter instructed Kalbi, "Any ship flying a black owl flag must not pass! After you intercept the ship, all the goods on board are yours!
009 will stay to assist you, and if you don't understand anything, just ask 009."
"..."
"We will supply you with materials, so do not continue being a pirate to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Unlike Noah and Joanna, Adrian has already turned Kalbi into a puppet and plans to use him well, naturally not wanting such a useful puppet to cause trouble.
