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. The main questline leads you to Julie, a mechanic who runs GearWorks in Honolulu. She upgrades the Goromaru and subsequently allows you to enhance its cannons. Various materials, obtained by defeating enemies, are needed for these upgrades.
Speak to Julie, select the cannon for upgrade, and then equip them via the ship's crew formation menu. Here's a breakdown of the cannon types and their upgrade requirements:
Shark Cannon
The Shark Cannon offers elemental damage and a faster reload than others, but lower damage overall. Consider prioritizing stronger cannons initially, perhaps acquiring this later for crew recruitment.
Egesta Cannon
This cannon deals slow, consistent damage, making it a strategic choice, especially if you equip different cannon types on each side of the Goromaru. Its dual-shot compensates for its slower reload.

Laser Cannon

Super Laser Cannon
The Super Laser Cannon is the ultimate Goromaru upgrade, but requires rare components, making it a late-game acquisition. Its superior range and power make it ideal for challenging battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.
