Pirates are usually driven to acquire riches by robbing others. In the past, unskilled sailors would join pirate crews because there was little well-paying employment. In modern times, conditions of poverty offer incentives to become lawless gangs, either on land, or at sea as pirates.

∙ 13y agoYou can't 'become a pirate', however, you can buy pirate-themed clothing from the Gift Shop (if it is featured in the Clothing Catalogue). You can also receive or buy pirate-themed items (which sometimes are free) when Rockhopper the Pirate docks his ship at the beach; sometimes adventure-themed parties offer pirate-themed free items as well. For example, the Adventure Party, which is going on now, offers a Puffle Pirate Bandanna if you complete a quest to find paper boats all over the Island. Rockhopper is in Club Penguin currently as well, and you can go to his ship and see if there are any clothing items you like.
