Actually the pirates simply left with their fortunes and lived the rest of their lives in opulent splendour. Those pirate ships that were despotic tended to fight to the death and not succeed. They were succesful.

Fun fact: Pirate ships were populated by perpetually disgruntled hard angry tough no-bullshit thugs, their captain was what they wanted him to be.
The culpepper militia men of the american revolutionary war were of a similiar calibre of masculinity, except they possessed strong protestant moral libertarian values. As much as liberals enjoy hating and persecuting the christian right in america, they would be living under an actual tyranny if it weren't for the christian right. They should be on their knees thanking god such men existed, but I guess they don't have to since, like jesus, they died so we can have the liberty to disrespect them.
