Pirates are those who rob, steal, or perform other criminal violence upon other ships or in coastal areas. The ships used by the pirates for their acts of piracy are called pirate ships. While real-life pirates are dangerous and have caused serious damage to property and lives, the fictional pirates in films or books with stereotypical characteristics have gained immense popularity.

If you haven’t read or watched the film or series adaptations, get ready for an adventure time.
