They are getting comfortable there because they are robbing others of their possessions. Hence, they are getting comfortable as pirates.
He truly believes there is no other way, I get that. But he's still too complacent about the situation for my liking. The immediate threat to his people IS their piracy and he's sitting there defending CONTINUING it. If he gave his reasons as to why and then wanted us to negotiate a peaceful solution for them to STOP their piracy and live on the mainland, then I'd be more on his side. However, he was adamant about his people continuing to pirate regardless of what happens here. That's just stupid and doesn't take into account the needs of the people he is stealing from or the lives that are bound to be lost in his raids.

Would you also be pissed if you built a home, were robbed, and then, when caught, the robber asked permission to continue robbing you because he needs to feed his loved ones?Emmm i may be wrong but didn't he was talking about village they build on island? I mean i would be quite pissed if i would build home and made field and was asked to vacant it.

Can't, can't, can't. Trading can be accomplished with a middleman. The island is big enough to plan ambush points, have a forest with trees to jump around and hide in, have it's own cave system, but NOTHING will grow there? They are willing to fight people and steal from them, but not willing to move inland and squat somewhere for a time before moving on? They can use some of their pirate money - and they must have a decent amount by now - (and/or sell their boats to locals) to buy supplies through middlemen along the way. Very little is truly impossible...until we say the word "can't", then magically all solutions disappear.Lambchop19, answer me this, please.
What were his alternatives? There is no food to feed his people. They can't grow it on the island, they can't settle on the mainland, they can't trade.

thisActually, now that I think about it, they should have left money in the villages they had raided, forcing the 'trade'. Don't know if it would help matters or not, but at least it would have made it possible to spin their story in the right direction.
