If the greater presence of Japanese trade in Southeast Asia brought far greater attention from Europe and the Indian subcontinent, then could there be an expanded presence of piracy primarily in the archipelago?

The Golden age of piracy is about to begin after this, so I'd expect some pirate crews to stay around post war, and a few to get into Japanese service (just bc it'd be interesting and would probably inspire ittl's versions of shogun).

Japanesew wokou piracy at this point is a thing of the past thank to Azuchi's naval enforcement of its seas but there is definitely piracy in Southeast Asia. If I'm correct, Sulu piracy is a big issue for the Spanish Philippines during this time. However, without Zheng Zhilong or Koxinga piracy is nowhere near as prominent in the 17th century as it is IOTL. Definitely a topic I'll explore more.

Yeah I should've guessed, with the various ppl controlling different parts of the land, and with the 'royal demesne' being relatively limited (and the fact that the Daijo-Daijins can't move too much against them) means taking more power this way would be a very effective way to make money and get power from this. Maybe we see the Daijo-Daijins push for colonisation to increase the power they can wield?

Also do you think Japan would want to replace the Dutch as the overlords of the Sulawesi kingdoms?
