its to do with the currency and exchange rates back in the pirate day

when they had no money or gold to trade they resorted to using pies instead.

no one knew the value of pies except the pirates (not called that then) and so like the exchange rate, these men controlled the pie-rates, which over time has been shortened to pirates
