First and foremost, you need to reach the endgame. This is when you make it to the Kingpin Infamy rank, gain access to the Helm offices, and can start your smuggling empire.

You'll begin with White Skull Rum as the main Distillery creation. You can have the workers make White Skull Rum and use it in different Helm orders at the Order Registry. This is one way you can obtain Pieces of Eight.
