Chapter 2 introduces Honolulu and Madlantis, the game's main hubs. Exploring these areas and recruiting crew members is vital for ship upgrades and story progression.

Various materials are needed for cannon upgrades, obtained by defeating enemies. These include:
Speak to Julie, select your cannon, and upgrade. Then, equip them in your ship's crew formation menu. Here are the cannon types and their upgrade requirements:
Shark Cannon
The Shark Cannon offers elemental damage and a fast reload, but lower damage. Consider prioritizing stronger cannons initially, perhaps acquiring this later to recruit Julie.
Egesta Cannon
This cannon deals consistent damage and is strategically versatile, allowing for different cannon types on each side of the Goromaru. Its dual-shot compensates for its slower reload.
