I don't think I have enough skills to write you a critique so I will simply share my thoughts on this great piece of art. It conveys the message in a straightforward and yet meaningful, deep, multi-sided way.
The main graphic idea is simply perfect, and so is the use of contrasting colors which also have a well-recognised meaning (red and black = blood and death). Turning what has been a triumphal picture depicting victory into a subtly violent one adds even more quality to this concept.
The only tiny thing that doesn't appal to my taste is the use of the pirate "brand", as I see pirates as opponents to the established powers and so a positive, though violent, force. But I can see what you meant and you also made me reflect on how much pirates actually were dangerous and violent and a menace for peace.
Como dicen en mi país, "una imagen vale mas que mil palabras, una idea Fenomenal" As they say in my country, "a picture is worth a thousand words, a great idea"
