Introduction

Aye, matey! If you’ve been dreaming of life on the high seas and want to become a pirate in real life, then this blog is for you. Here we’ll teach you all about becoming a pirate and what it takes to go from landlubber to salty sea dog.

Step 1 – Have your heart set on the life of a pirate.

The first step to becoming a pirate is having your heart set on the life of a pirate. If you’re not ready to begin an adventure, or if you just want to stay home and watch television, then this guide isn’t for you!

As you can tell from reading this article (or if you’ve already read it), pirates are brave people who love adventure and have no fear when it comes to danger. If this sounds more like something for you than the boring life of an accountant, then keep reading!

Step 2 – Find a crew and ship.

You will need a crew and ship to help you in your journey as a pirate. It is important that you find someone who shares your same interests and goals, or the whole thing could end up turning into a mutiny.

The ship should be fast, but not too fast – it needs to be able to outrun whatever ships you encounter on the open water, yet also allow for enough cargo space for all of the treasure you plan on plundering.

Step 3 – Remember the pirate code.

The pirate code is a set of rules that are followed by pirates. If you want to become a pirate, then you need to remember the pirate code or else you will get in trouble with other pirates! The first rule of the pirate code is:

The second rule of the pirate code is:

The third rule of the pirate code is

and finally,

Step 4 – Understand your flag.

A pirate flag is like the burly, bearded guy at the bar who’s waiting for you to hit on him. It’s a symbol of reputation and pride that you can use to show everyone how badass you are.

Pirate flags come in many different shapes and sizes: some resemble crosses, some look like skulls, others have bones or swords or even dragons drawn upon them! But whatever design your flag has, there are a few things that should always be present:

• A skull and crossbones – this is basically the universal symbol for “we’re pirates”. In fact, it’s featured on most flags because it’s considered to be a strong warning signal. If someone sees this flag flying from another ship during battle then they know two things: 1) This person is dangerous so don’t mess with them; 2) Don’t even think about attacking because they’ll probably kill all of us anyways… so maybe we just won’t bother fighting back? Nahhhhhh…”

Step 5 – Find treasure.

Now that you have the basics down, it’s time to go out on the high seas and actually find some treasure. Where are you going to look? In the desert, in the jungle, or maybe even in a forest? Or maybe somewhere else entirely! The key is to be observant of your surroundings. If there’s one thing pirates know how to do well it’s keep their eyes peeled for hidden treasures.

While looking for treasure can seem like an easy task at first glance, it’s important not to get discouraged if nothing seems promising at first. Treasure will eventually reveal itself! And remember: if all else fails just make sure your ship has enough supplies on board so that even if something goes wrong with finding loot there won’t be any problems (like running out of food).

Step 6 – Avoid other pirates.

Now that you have your ship, it’s time to be a pirate. This is where it gets tricky. You’re not just going to sail around looking for loot and glory like in the movies. As a real-life pirate, there are many things you want to avoid doing:

• Avoid other pirates. They will steal your boat and/or kill you for no reason at all!
• Avoid the Cap’n (the person who runs everything). He might take your boat away if he doesn’t like how much money you earn from being a pirate or something dumb like that.
• Avoid the law—it would be really hard for them not to figure out what was going on if they caught one of their members stealing boats or killing people while wearing an eye patch with “PIRATE” written across it in big letters! And don’t forget about the navy; they’ll try their best not only because they’re good guys who want everyone else safe but also because they think we should give up our ways and get jobs instead of being free spirits who don’t care about society as long as there’s treasure involved somewhere along the line…

Step 7 – Don’t cross the Cap’n!

• Don’t cross the Cap’n!

As we’ve discussed, you are now a pirate, but you’re not quite yet worthy of being called a “Cap’n.” You’ve got to earn that title by proving yourself worthy in battle and on land. To do this, you’ll want to stick close to your crew at all times and watch for any signs that they might be growing weary of following your orders or question whether or not they can trust you as their leader. If this happens, take it as an opportunity to prove yourself on the battlefield (see Step 6).

If things go well enough in battle and on land for some time without anyone questioning your authority or mutinying against you again (see Step 5), then one day soon people will begin calling themselves “your loyal crew” rather than just “the loyal crew.” When this happens, no longer will they call each other by name: instead they’ll say “this is Captain Smith’s ship” or “my name is Captain Smith.” This signifies that everyone aboard has accepted their role in life as part of an organized group under one captain who leads them through life’s battles together!

Step 8 – Plunder! Plunder! Plunder!

When you’re a pirate, treasure is your lifeblood. You need to plunder others’ chests of gold so that you can get rich and buy what you want! There are two ways to find treasure: in real life or in a game.

If you want to find treasure out in the world, there are hidden gems and metals everywhere. You just have to know where to look.

In games like Minecraft or Terraria, there are also treasures and items that take many hours of playtime (or money) before they’re available for players like yourself who just want something quick and easy.

Step 9 – Do you dare to walk the plank?

Do you dare to walk the plank? The plank is a board that pirates used to punish their crew. In our modern world, it’s a slang term for something that might be scary or dangerous. If someone says they walked the plank, they could be talking about anything from scuba diving with sharks to standing up in front of an entire classroom to give a speech.

If you’re looking for something more literal, “walk the plank” can also mean being forced into an uncomfortable situation (especially when other people are watching). For example: “My boss told me that I have to come in on Saturday.”

“That sucks! He’s walking all over you.”

“Yeah… I guess he is!”

Step 10 – Find your eternal rest.

Once you have collected your treasure, it is time to find a safe place to bury it. There are many different ways of doing this, but most pirates choose to hide their treasure in a cave or hole in the ground. Make sure that it is somewhere that no one else knows about and make sure you can remember where it is. If someone finds your treasure and takes it for themselves then all hope for living like a pirate would be lost!

To be a true pirate you need to learn to live by The Pirate Code

The Pirate Code is a set of rules that all pirates must live by. It is the same for all pirates, and it’s very important that you know it by heart.

Here are some examples of what the The Pirate Code says:

• Always be honest with your crew. If you believe in something, then you should say so loudly, even if your opinion is unpopular among other people who may not agree with you (even though they are wrong).
• Never steal from other pirates unless they steal from first – pirates who do this are known as rogues and scoundrels!

Conclusion

We hope you enjoyed our guide to becoming a real-life pirate. It may seem like a lot of work, but if you follow these steps and obey the code, we’re sure you’ll be sailing the high seas in no time!
