What's a gypsy?

could they become pirates

Gypsies dont usually break away from their group, but its possible.

The gypsies are not a lifestyle, they are an actual ethnic group, and they form a substantial minority in several Eastern European and Western Asian countries. In Europe, they are stereotypically considered criminals, while in America, they are associated with being part of carnivals or as tent dwelling vendors. Because he considered gypsies to be “nation-less” like the Jews, Hitler thought the gypsies as not having a place in his future society. The term itself comes from “Egyptian” since that was thought to be where the gypsies were from in past times.

Meant to add, they actually came from India, migrated over centuries into Europe.
