Luffy: "Of course I don't know anything about swords, you moron! I can't navigate! I can't cook! I can't even lie! I know I need friends to help me if I want to get ahead in life!" He has crew members with those qualities, while Luffy himself lacks these qualities if you were to look at the actions of his crew from a civilians point of view, the Straw Hats are indeed pirates. Also, "Pirate King" was just what people started calling Gol D. Roger, just as they called him Gold Roger; it does not matter how he really is just as the majority of people see him.
