This was a way for gov'ts to bypass treaties of peace while still sabatoging trade. The game you mentioned is most likily based on this practice as well.

No, The concept of Shichibukai came from pirateering, yes this was confirmed by Oda, but the Characteristics of each member came form the game, this was confirmed in an interview or maybe SBS, But I am confident that Oda used the seven heroes of the Romancing Saga 2. (and if you compare all the warlords with the seven heroes they are similar in many ways. )
