As the patrols and convoys cover an area it shifts beyond that area. Likewise with the mercenaries joining ships from a regional port or from the floating armouries, it just gives a handy cut off point for the pirates to adapt to.
One knock on affect of the measures to clear the sea lanes has been the criminals move to attacks on tourists and commerce in neighbouring states instead.
