Chapter 2 plunges you into the Pirate Coliseum in Madlantis, but your ship needs serious upgrades. This initiates a questline involving recruiting a shipbuilder and five crew members. While crew recruitment is straightforward, the $10,000 ship repair presents a significant hurdle.
Fortunately, several methods expedite this process. Early in the game (mid-Chapter 2), three options exist: collecting bounties, finding treasure chests, and completing Honolulu jobs.
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 leaving Honolulu, potentially slowing your progress.

How To Get Bounties in Pirate Yakuza
Hunting bounties in Honolulu offers the quickest route to $10,000. Smaller bounties yield around $2,000, while larger ones can reward up to $16,000. However, these larger bounties are challenging early in the game.
A balanced approach involves targeting lower-difficulty bounties ($2,000-$6,000). These encounters often involve multiple enemies, making Goro's Sea Dog fighting style (for crowd control) and Mad Dog style (for boss fights) crucial.
Bounties are easily identified on the Honolulu map by a red handcuff icon. Selecting a bounty displays its difficulty, reward, and details, allowing you to assess the risk.
Completing bounties awards thousands of dollars, rapidly contributing to your upgrade fund. While combat-intensive, this method ensures swift progression through the story.
This strategy provides the fastest way to upgrade your ship in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
