ZKKclown Lenox started to cry again after I debunked the guy that he was licking his boots, don't cry bitch, it happens when you don't have the brain to argue and the guy you are relying is getting debunked badly
by me.
Constantly changing the goalposts doesn't count as debunking, it is just running away.
Your post: ''
naval thugs that are much more interested in intimidating submissive merchants into parting with their cargo than in actually fighting.''
Now you got debunked as I proved the Pirate Redbeard was fighting the Spanish Navy, instead of admitting you are wrong, you chose to cry like a clown.
Learn what they were called;
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_pirates
Barbary Pirates
Title: King of Pirates, Barbarossa
Too bad, it looks you got debunked again.
You already provided sources that made hard distinctions between pirates and privateers. Tis not my fault that you didn't bother to read your own sources.
Besides, Barbarossa was initially a privateer before flat out becoming a naval officer, first for the Regency of Algiers and then for the Ottoman Empire. He was primarily a naval officer throughout his career. The bloke in that video is using the term "pirate" incredibly loosely, with the majority of the video dedicated to Barbarossa's feats as an Ottoman naval officer.
The bloke is so loose with the term "pirate" that he refers to Teuta as the "Pirate Queen" in the title of his video covering her when in reality she was queen regent of the Ardiaei tribe of Illyria and encouraged her nation's naval forces to conduct maritime raids on merchant ships. He even acknowledges at 11:09 that "Teuta has often been called the Pirate Queen although she wasn't actually a pirate herself".
So he called somebody that wasn't actually a pirate the "Pirate Queen" based on her being the ruler of a nation of prolific, government approved maritime raiders. That exact same criteria fits "King of Pirates" Barbarossa like a glove since he ruled as a Governor over the Regency of Algiers, a tributary state under the Ottomans who supported the Barbary Corsairs.
Since I know you are a crybaby and also lying when you got butthurt, I specifically said Pirate Redbeard was fighting in the front lines vs the best Spanish soldiers of his time, even that after some time he was injured in one of the close quarter battles vs the Spain Navy. But hey, if you gonna cry now I won't stop you.
Again, should I remind you the quote that made you cry?
''Pirate captain was chosen based on his abilities as a
fighter, sailor and leader.''
I guess the Pirate Redbeard wasn't chosen as captain based on his ability as a fighter while fighting the Navy because it would debunk your previous claims?
Mate, you have yourself already said that a "fighter" doesn't translate to a duellist.

"Fighter" is one of three metrics for a pirate captain in that quote. In your own words, "Fighter" in the context of pirate captains includes numerous metrics unrelated to 1v1 combat such as leadership skills and tactical ability. So using your own logic, at best the duelling ability of a pirate captain makes up a third of a third of a metric.
And you made said pirate captain go up against actual dedicated duellists for your 1v1 scenario in your opening post.
The whole "fighter" quote is pretty much redundant for this 1v1 scenario now that you yourself have flat out stated that it doesn't translate to duelling ability.
However you can't prove why Redbeard should be the exception to this;
''Pirate captain was chosen based on his abilities as a
fighter, sailor and leader.''
You asked me who else besides Blackbeard is a proven fighter who fought against the Navy soldiers, then you started to give example from exceptions and from the weaker ones. The thread as you can see from the poll, its about ''strongest ones''
I give example from Redbeard, you cried about imaginary rules of this thread and Redbeard not being pirate when I also proved he is.
Instead of admitting you were wrong, you made excuses and then throw away some other pirate names there who are obviously not amongst the ''strongest ones'' group as its stated in the poll. Nice, keep crying.
Dumbass clowns: asking for another proven Pirate other than Blackbeard who was able to beat the Navy soldiers, I provided the name of that other Pirate then they proceed to make excuses and lie about it that he is not a pirate.
I didn't ask for a "fighter" since you have already stated yourself that the term "fighter" is not necessarily about 1v1 ability, which is what this entire thread is supposed to be about according to your opening post.
I asked for a
duellist.
Specifically no privateers or buccaneers since your own sources made hard distinctions between them and pirates. I also specifically said pirate captain
duellists between 1715-1725 A.D. since we were using Colin Woodard as a source but I'll address your sudden chronological swing next.
"According to the book sources, any buccaneers and privateers don't count. So what other supposedly amazing pirate
duellists do we have from the year of our lord 1715-1725 A.D. when your Black Sails TV show is set?"

LMAO, when exactly I said the thread is limited with ''criminals pirate and golden age of piracy''?
I never said its limited.
This is a clown behaviour for sure, acting like if I said there is a time period limit for this thread just because you got debunked.
But I understand you are desperate now so you lie again.
Do you see any time era limit to the ''strongest fighters from pirate captains'' in this thread?
This clown suddenly start complaining about the ''imaginary rules'' of this thread after getting destroyed
Show me when exactly I said you can only use pirate captains from a specific time like 1700s?
You limited it to criminal pirates when you used sources such as Colin Woodard and Benerson Little. Again, not my fault that you use sources that undermine your own arguments.
As for the time period, it was clear from the beginning between your worship of Blackbeard, your promotion of the TV show Black Sails, the video about the Life of a Pirate Captain and the sources you were stanning that the entire discussion was geared towards the Golden Age of Piracy. The only time period that you previously mentioned to justify why pirate captains should be considered stronger than samurai in a duel was the Golden Age of Piracy.

Now you are suddenly saying "Well actually it was any time period!!!"? This is less changing the goalposts by this point and more like changing the sporting event in question entirely.
Alright then. Going by this new "no time period limit" criteria then the strongest pirate from all time periods isn't going to be Blackbeard or Barbarossa or anybody else from centuries past. The strongest pirate is just going to be the average Somalian Pirate with a modern firearm, isn't it?
Just give old "Afweyne" Mohamed Abdi Hassan a 21st century pistol (your opening only said "pistols advantage". No time era limit bro.

) and he simultaneously sweeps all the famous pirate captain "fighters" from the past, doesn't he? Why did you waste so much time on hyping up "Bastard Progeny" Teach if it supposedly wasn't time period limited whatsoever? The absolute sheer muppetry.
