Pirates' approvals (4)

I believe the answer is:

ayes

(Other definitions for ayes that I've seen before include "Those voting for the motion" , "Positive votes" , "Votes of approval during 5 Down" , "Affirmatives at sea" , "Votes in favour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and The Wall Street Journal.
