Chapter 2 throws you into the Pirate Coliseum in Madlantis, but your ship needs serious upgrades. This triggers a questline requiring ship repairs and recruiting crew. While crew recruitment is straightforward, the $10,000 ship repair is a significant hurdle early in the game. Fortunately, several methods exist to quickly earn this cash.

How To Get Treasure in Pirate Yakuza

Treasure chests scattered across Honolulu and various islands offer a steady income. However, this method is time-consuming and requires venturing outside Honolulu, slowing down your progress towards the main story. For a faster solution, consider bounty hunting.

How To Get Bounties in Pirate Yakuza

Bounty hunting in Honolulu is the most efficient way to earn $10,000 quickly. Smaller bounties yield around $2,000, while larger ones can offer up to $16,000. However, tackling the higher-paying bounties early on can be challenging due to Goro's limited combat capabilities. Unless you're a seasoned *Yakuza* player, focusing on lower-difficulty bounties is recommended.

These bounties, rewarding $2,000-$6,000, are a good balance of reward and difficulty. Utilize Goro's Sea Dog style for crowd control and switch to Mad Dog for tougher one-on-one fights against the bounty bosses.

Bounties are easily identifiable on the map by a red handcuff icon. Approaching a marker reveals bounty details, including difficulty and reward, allowing you to choose wisely.

Bounty fights are similar to other combat encounters in *Pirate Yakuza*. Defeat the target and their cronies to claim your reward and contribute to your ship upgrade fund. Completing several lower-difficulty bounties in Honolulu will quickly provide the $10,000 needed to progress the story. While combat-intensive, this method ensures rapid campaign advancement.

This strategy provides the fastest way to upgrade your ship in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
