Favorite pirate?

[arcadian]

Blackbeard - Now there is a pirate I can stand behind. With cutlass raised. Hey! When he laid siege to Charleston, all he wanted was medicine for his crew who were stricken with VDs. Also, pirate ships were democracies.

The one that wants to sing and dance, sing and dance, wear his silver buckled slippers and his tight shiny pants.

6. Captain Morgan Rum.

Named for the 17th century Welsh privateer. The commercials were great. Wannabe "Captains" would strike the pose with one foot up on an imaginary rum barrel with the tag line, "Got a little Captain in ya?"

8. Roberto Clemente

I remember reading a bio on him as a kid and thinking how inspiring he was. Even though he helped beat the O's in the 1971 series.

13. monkey d luffy.

(from wikipedia)
Monkey D. Luffy (モンキー・D・ルフィ ,Monkī D. Rufi?), or "Straw Hat Luffy" as he is often referred to as, is a fictional character and the main protagonist in the anime and manga series One Piece created by Eiichiro Oda. He is the pirate whose body is made of rubber after he ate a devil's fruit and acquired the accursed ability.

In the anime and manga, Luffy is captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, a group of pirates he assembles himself as he quests to find the "One Piece" and become the King of the Pirates. His primary motivation throughout the series is to reach the goal with all of his comrades, a task he pursues no matter what stands in his way. While he is goofy and reckless, he gets quite serious when anyone is in serious danger, notably his crew, whom he considers his friends. Luffy has additionally appeared in all of the featured movies in the series and other media relating to the series, including several video games and specials.
