The main problem with piratebox on the pi

The main problem with running piratebox on the pi is that you have to use wireless usb adapters, Most usb and pcie cards for laptops are nowhere near as powerful as your wireless routers.

A typical off the shelf wifi router can do 100mw of tx power where the typical usb and pcie card can only do 31mw of tx power.

So you would need to either connect the pi to a wifi router via ethernet cable or find an AC powered usb dongle with at least 100mw otherwise no one will even see your raspberry piratebox.
