Chapter 2 introduces Honolulu and Madlantis, two key hubs where you'll spend significant time upgrading your ship and crew. While progressing through the main questline, you'll encounter Julie, a mechanic who runs GearWorks. Her shops in Honolulu are vital for upgrading your ship's weapons, including cannons.

Julie handles Goromaru upgrades. After the initial upgrade, you can return to her shop (and even recruit her!) to improve your cannons. Various materials, obtained by defeating enemies, are needed for different upgrades. The four main component types are:

Speak to Julie, select the cannon you wish to upgrade, and watch your firepower increase. Equipped cannons can be managed in your ship's crew formation menu. Here's a breakdown of the available cannon upgrades and their requirements:

Shark Cannon

The Shark Cannon offers elemental damage and a faster reload than some alternatives, but its damage output is lower. Consider this a later acquisition, perhaps prioritizing more powerful options initially. Recruiting Julie is a bonus.

Egesta Cannon

The Egesta Cannon delivers slow but steady damage, making it a strategic choice, especially if you don't equip identical cannons on both sides of the Goromaru. Its dual-shot compensates for the slower reload.

Laser Cannon

The Laser Cannon is arguably the best weapon in the game. Save your components for this devastating upgrade. Its high damage more than makes up for the longer reload time, quickly eliminating weaker ships and significantly harming stronger foes.

Super Laser Cannon

The Super Laser Cannon is the ultimate Goromaru upgrade, boasting incredible power and long-range capabilities. However, it demands rare components, making it a late-game acquisition. Perfect for challenging battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.

That's how to upgrade your cannons in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*. Prepare for naval dominance!
