What are you going to do, wipe out every small armed ship in the area.

The first treaty banning privateers is 150 years old. Private armed
ships are more or less presumed to be pirates, but that is moot, since
there are none. The pirates are not using ships, armed or otherwise. A
small boat with shoulder rifles is not an armed ship.
