What the modern historians call "pirate codes" are actually ship's articles, a set of rules that were different from ship to ship. Bartholomew Roberts' "code" was nothing new nor exceptional. There was no universal "pirate code" like the one depicted in POTC. It's obvious the "pirate code" is fictional. Pirates didn't parley with anyone. They came, attacked, conquered, and stole. There was no time for parley.
