Some of the European shipmen that were enslaved converted to Islam and became captains. They were the most successful pirates because they knew the European coastline.

Some eventually went rogue and started their own states.

Reminds me of the German ISIS guys, who went to Asia and immediately took over.

Or the Chechyen troops leading the Russian front.

European + Islam = Holy Terror

lol…well, those pirates learned that America really doesn’t like it when you mess with our boats. The US destroyed half the Iranian navy in 8 hours for an attack during freedom of navigation exercises to reopen the gulf back in the 70’s I think…

A lot of global trade has been enabled by US boats guaranteeing freedom of navigation…the lack of a piracy tariff (nation state tariffs are barely different and bad enough) has enabled economies to develop in historically unlikely places.
