Mostly, the pirates can be found in the [[Welcome to The Caribbean Luv|Caribbean]], [[The Cavalier Years|a few hundred years ago]], but they pop up anywhere and everywhere -- any sea-faring hero can expect to meet pirates at least once. Elizabethan-era privateers (such as the aforementioned Sir Francis Drake) used to be quite popular but have fallen out of favour in recent decades.

[[Space Pirates]] occur in [[Recycled in Space|the far future]], sailing the [[Space Is an Ocean|ocean of space]]. They usually [[Thrown Out the Airlock|throw people out of the airlock]] rather than making them [[Walk the Plank]], and may substitute [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp|some alien flier]] for the parrot.

Note that in fiction, many Pirate Captains are presented as absolute masters of their ship, with [[The Mutiny]] being regarded as fully as serious as on merchant or naval ships. In [[Real Life]], the captain had command only in battle; out of battle, he could be freely deposed - and often marooned - for incompetence.

*** It's "some" of the villains, as in order to be type 1, they have to be pirates. Whereas several of the villains are marines or otherwise not pirates. The Skypia, Enies Lobby, Impel Down, Marineford, and arguably Baroque Works arcs take up quite a bit of the current storyline (current one piece is in it's low mid-600s chapter wise), yet have non-pirates as the main "villain". Baroque Works is arguable as while the big bad is a pirate their underlings aren't. Though perhaps it should say the majority instead of some.

** In earlier depictions of One Piece (Romance Dawn and Wanted one-shots), pirates are described as being of two types: The "Morganeers", who are all about pillaging and looting, and the "Peace Mains", who are more about fun and games and beating the Morganeers for their loot.

* In the ''[[LazyTown]]'' episode that the page quote comes from, the children have been playing type 2-ish pirates, and are shown a history book that tells them about Rottenbeard, a type 1 pirate who once victimised LazyTown and stole a corner of a stone containing a message from the town's founder, then was driven off by a hero who bears a suspicious resemblance to both Sportacus and a ninja. Despite him being type 1, the kids are impressed, so Robbie decides to take advantage of the kids' pirate fever by dressing as Rottenbeard and getting them to 'help' him look for the missing corner, which he has made a mock-up of that makes the message say "LazyTown should always be lazy".
