As you navigate Chapter 2, Goro and his crew are tasked with entering the Pirate Coliseum in Madlantis. However, their modest ship isn't ready for the challenge. This initiates a quest to recruit a shipbuilder and five new crew members, but the real hurdle is the $10,000 needed to repair and enhance the Goromaru. Fortunately, *Pirate Yakuza* offers multiple avenues to earn this sum quickly, though they require some effort, especially early in the game.
How To Get Treasure in Pirate Yakuza
One method to gather funds is by hunting for treasure scattered across Honolulu and various islands. This approach, while time-consuming, involves raiding to uncover hidden riches. However, for those eager to progress the story swiftly, this might not be the most efficient route. Instead, consider focusing on bounties, which can be tackled solo by Goro.

How To Get Bounties in Pirate Yakuza
The most direct path to the $10,000 is through bounties in Honolulu. Even the smaller bounties can net you around $2,000, with the larger ones offering up to $16,000. While tempting, the higher-value bounties are tougher and might be too challenging for Goro at this stage. A safer strategy is to target the lower difficulty bounties, which reward between $2,000 and $6,000. These fights often involve dealing with multiple enemies, making Goro's Sea Dog fighting style ideal for crowd control, before switching to the Mad Dog style for the final showdown with the bounty boss.
Locating bounties is straightforward, thanks to the red handcuff symbols on the map. Approaching these markers triggers an info screen detailing the bounty's difficulty, the reason for the bounty, and the reward. This allows you to assess the risk and decide whether to engage.
Engaging in these bounty fights follows the standard combat mechanics of *Pirate Yakuza*. You'll need to deplete the health bars of the bounty target and their minions, who may wield various weapons. Successfully completing a bounty instantly adds thousands of dollars to your funds, bringing you closer to the $10,000 needed for the Goromaru's upgrade. By tackling a few bounties in Honolulu, you'll quickly amass the necessary funds to continue your adventure.
And that's how you can efficiently gather the funds to upgrade your ship in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*. With these strategies, you'll be back on track, ready to tackle the next big event in the main story.
