<center>''A privateer who's at his best when doing battle on the high seas. A master of both attack and defence.'' --Description from ''Dragon Quest VII'' </center>

The '''Pirate''' (海賊, ''Kaizoku'') is one of the intermediate vocations introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. Keeping with the title's nautical theme, they embody the ferocity and unpredictability of the seven seas.

==Description==
The pirate is toughened by the high seas and a life of banditry, marooning monsters with salty skills and [[Thievery|plundering items]] after battle. The pirate combines the skills of a [[Sailor]] and a [[Thief]] and requires mastery of both to unlock. Pirates are unique among ''VII's'' vocation in that they possess two traits: becoming highly resistant to [[Maelstrom]] and more prone to pilfer as they advance in rank.

===[[Dragon Quest VII Reimagined]]===
Pirate is unlocked by mastering the [[Thief]] and [[Sailor]] vocations. 

This vocation offers a variety of powerful physical axe-oriented skills like [[Hatchet Man]], [[Scrap Mettle]], or [[Parallax]].

Mastering it and either [[Luminary (vocation)|Luminary]] or [[Sage]] unlocks the [[Druid]] vocation. Like all other intermediate vocations, mastering it and two more of them allows a character to unlock the [[Hero (vocation)|Hero]] vocation.
