In Chapter 2, you'll discover Honolulu and Madlantis, the game's primary hubs. Exploring these areas and recruiting crew members is essential for upgrading your ship and advancing the story. During the main quest, you'll meet Julie, a mechanic who runs GearWorks in Honolulu. She upgrades the Goromaru, and you can return to her shop (and even recruit her!) to upgrade your cannons.

Cannon upgrades require various materials obtained by defeating enemies. These include:

Speak to Julie and select the cannon you wish to upgrade. Once upgraded, equip them via the crew formation menu on your ship.

Cannon Upgrade Options:

Shark Cannon

The Shark Cannon offers elemental damage and a fast reload, but lower damage output. Consider this a later-game acquisition, perhaps prioritizing it after recruiting Julie.

Egesta Cannon

This cannon deals consistent damage over time, making it a strategic choice, especially if you equip different cannon types on each side of the Goromaru for varied damage profiles. Its two-round burst compensates for its slower reload.

Laser Cannon

The Laser Cannon is a top-tier weapon. Save your resources for this upgrade; its devastating damage quickly eliminates weaker ships and significantly weakens tougher ones, despite the longer reload time.

Super Laser Cannon

The ultimate cannon upgrade, requiring rare components obtained later in the game. Its superior power and long-range capabilities make it invaluable for challenging battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.
