Unity Beetween the Japanese Pirates?

(Well,this is a research for my TL,actually.)

Can the Wukou(Japanese Pirates) achieved the same unity like the Nassau Republic(Carribean Pirates),or the Sale Republic(Barbary Pirates),and even-establishes a "Republic" on a Island on Asia?

Can they?
If they can,what POD should we took? What era? And what's the long-term effect of this?
 
It should be noted that Nassau lasted only 5 years as a pirate haven and the Republic of Sale lasted 41 years- not very long, in terms of nations.
Let's assume the Japanese had a fort, let's say, on one of the islands in the Philippines. Wouldn't it, then, be run over by the Chinese sailors? By this time(17th century), there had been large immigrations of Chinese into Southeast Asia and are dominating the trade there. There's a high chance that either the two pirate groups will mix together or conquer the other.
Not exactly a "Japanese" pirate haven. That's still assuming the Japanese sailors would have enough centralized power to be a major naval force.

But...let's see..the Wukou guys is more older than the Nassau or Sale dudes..

um, do you want unity ? or republics ?

Saale and Nassau didn't succeed in unity either. There are other caribbean and barbary pirates who didn't join them.

Where would the Wukou establish their republic? Sakeshima Island? (the Southern Rykyus)? Batan or Babuyan Island between Luzon and Taiwan? The Spratly Islands in the South China Sea? Palau?

Well,Sale is rather obscure..

Nassau is NOT united thanks to the brit's "hey I give you a pardon,but prepare to be arrested or killed after few years" program,luring pirates such as the mighty Ben Hornigold.
