...Maybe have it follow a random course each turn until a pirate got
within a fixed "sight range" at which point it would always move to
follow the closest pirate (so you could lure it closer to someone else
and make it follow them >-)

...Stage secret mutinies! just make the merchants sufficiently different
than normal run of the mill pirates so you can tell them apart. After
taking a merchant crew on, there's some small chance that they will not
be happy. After X turns, the merchants mutiny, kill some number of
pirates, take some of the treasure and escape (either take them from the
game or put them on a nearby island to guard their new horde)
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :-)
