I think the monitor should have been kept in the bilges by the former pirate captain as a crazed beast to throw disobedient pirates to as punishment; Vilaya should offer to spare his life and turn him loose upon the captive members of the former captain's crew if he'll show her the way to Sampetra. The Alliance should be made after Vilaya and/or Jangus defeat the monitor chief; the pirates agree to work with her so long as she promises to not make them fight agains any monitors and that she will take sole responsibility for keeping them at bay. She should fulfil this promise via poison (what few Monitors survive swear undying allegiance to her), but then use the poison upon the most ornery and leaderlike members of the pirates to ensure they are totally under her power too.

God Bless!
