I knew of her.
I just don't think she still constitutes as a pirate, however. She seems more like a self-made Emperor. War-chief, maybe.
heh, Opened a brothel and lived until 69.
There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want
I didn't realize bullying innocents into paying protection money and murder were signs of greatness.
Imagine her pirated movie collection... *droool*

For a prostitute I can't believe that she was feared enough for the Chinese to call the British and Dutch to help them take her out.

If we measure success as we do in the case of this Lady she is hands down beaten by Francis Drake.
Many people tend to not really consider him a pirate as he was also an explorer, admiral and politician, but the man made his fortunes by ranksacking and traumatizing the Spanish Empire.
Altought if you ask the Spanish they will tell you that in their humble opinion Drake was a lowlife pirate.
Uhm hello. Gol D Roger king of pirates.
Someone has been on Reddit I see.

But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
White beard was the greatest pirate of his time. Strawhat Luffy will be the greatest pirate of his time.
Hehuehuehue
I c wut u did thar.
OT: Bitches be cray! Naw but she sounds like a hell of a pirate. And the fact that she's kind of hot in that picture makes it even better. Don't judge me and my fantasies.
A life of crime and being a pirate, being such a pain in the ass to the super powers at the time that they let you leave and live in peace. A hell of a life.
80000 crew / 1800 ship = 45 = very small coastal ship, contemporary European frigate, the smallest "real" warships have a crew of about 250 crew. Why could she resisted European fleets, because it was a titanic contest in Europe at the time... the Napoleon wars....
Sure she was a great pirate/warlord and was able to quit in time something most fail to do, but the greatest?
