Could there have been tmes where cooper ancestors in certain situations and circumstances, were forced to break their code of honour and steal from innocent people? There may be no honor, no challenge, no fun in stealing from ordinary people, but when Hunger and thirst, as well as hot and cold, begin to ake hold on a master thief, survival becomes top priority rather than honor,

In these situations, the coopers are stealing out of survival and necessity nor for honor. This is mostly the result of running out of supplies or going hungry.

Like for example: Henriette Cooper, Imagine several instances in which she was forced to rob merchant ships instead of other pirates, but in this situation, it's not for honor, it's out of the need to survive. Pirates not only raided other ships for treasure, they also raided them for food and supplies because if your out at sea for months, supplies will be consumed as time passes, and because pirates tended to the same ships for long periods of time, they would have to look for supplies to repair it or in some cases steal another ship and ditch the old one when it no longer became seaworthy. Blackbeard once made a ransom just for a chest of medicine.

another instance would be sir galleth and his cooper order being forced to raid a peasant village for food and supplies when their own provisions run out during a long journey.

another one can be a situation where Bob's tribe ends up going to war with another tribe during a famine and ransacking their village of anything useful.

yet another situation would occur in which Tennessee kid would find himself in the middle of the desert and almost out of food and water and being forced to rob a lone and more well stocked traveller to get his food. but in this situation, he ends up leaving that traveler to die in the desert.

And imagine a situation in which otto van cooper crash landsv deep within no man's land and has to fend for himself in the battlefields of the great war. It reaches a point were he hasn't eaten in a while and ends up breaking into a farm and stealing whatever food and supplies he could find, all the while not knowing that the farm is already inhabited by a small family,

The Coopers may be thieves but even thieves are not immune to hunger and discomfort. Sometimes stealing ends up becoming a survival instinct. Either you steal or starve
