Pirates

“	♪ Now take Sir Francis Drake, the Spanish all despise him. But to the British, he's a hero and they idolize him. It's how you look at buccaneers that makes them bad or good. And I see us as members of a noble brotherhood! ♪	„
	~ Long John Silver about Francis Drake.

“	Well, then, I confess, it is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasely black guts out.	„
	~ Captain Jack Sparrow

“	♪ Do what you want cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate! Yarr har fiddle dee dee. Being a pirate is alright to be. Do what you want cause a pirate is free. You are a pirate! ♪	„
	~ Robbie Rotten, Stephanie and others singing about being pirates.

Pirates are those who engage in acts of piracy, namely robbing and engaging in other kinds of illegal activities using a ship or some other sort of boat against other ships or coastal areas. Unlike some other pirates though, they have an honorable side and will engage in acts of heroism too, like unexpectedly saving lives and teaming up with other heroic characters as part of a deal that will benefit both parties in some way. They can also be runaways who resort to piracy for survival.
