This movie is one of those rare instances when the sequel is as good as the first film, SANDOKAN THE GREAT (1963). Directed by Umberto Lenzi, it's quite a solid auctioner. In this scene, rife with subtext (like many others in it), the Lieutenant says Reeves looks more like a pirate than a cabin boy. Reeves' appearance arouses suspicion in the man and yet he asks the muscular cabin boy to fetch his sword (he does this in between a slight interruption I didn't grab). Now would you ask a pirate to get a sword that he might use in combat and kill you? Sometimes PEPLUM movies are not very logical. Or maybe...the lieutenant was just smitten with the formidable cabin boy.
