And as we mentioned, pirates aren't involved with the port tug of war, but they can hold ports in the name of pirates, but they can only do so for three days. So why should you play as a pirate if you can't do the port battles? Well, you can steal ships, so if a Spanish player purchased a new ship with commendations they earned from the port battle, you can claim that ship for yourself by stealing it. However, stealing has its price to pay, because if you steal your ship will automatically always be ready and open to PvP (whereas normally you have to sail into specific zones to trigger PvP content so you aren't being attacked without reason at every step of your journey). And though only pirates can steal ships, the other nations can take your ship and trade it in for cash, almost like raking in the bounty that was placed on your head.
