He may not be known as "The Pirate King", but I think a man who can go from hostage to Captain within 6 weeks, take 400 ships and make navies around the world think he's invincible is worthy of the title.

Although not the most famous he was the only real pirate mentioned in the book, Treasure island. That said, he made the other pirates look like weekend offenders.

"You couldn't just walk up to a pirate and say 'Parlay' and not be killed." Well, that's because, "You have to be a pirate for the Pirate's Code to apply, and you're not!" -Captain Hector Barbossa to Elizabeth Swan aboard the cursed Pirate Ship: Black Pearl.
