Esperanza's Treasure

A billion-dollar treasure hidden by pirates 200 years ago. In 1816, the Spanish ship Esperanza was attacked by pirates and washed up on Palmyra Atoll, 1,600 km south of Hawaii. The ship's cargo was said to be worth $1 billion in today's value, including Inca gold, and no one has ever found it.
Spade Tucker (performed by Wheat People)
A moneylender who is said to have obtained "new information" about the Esperanza's treasure, he has come all the way from New York to the waters around Madrantis. He is extremely greedy but timidly vigilant, and appears and disappears from sight while being protected by strong guards.
Saeshima Taiga (Cast: Rikiya Koyama)
After the dissolution of the Tojokai and the Omi Rengo, he has been busy supporting the Kyokudo who have lost the backing of their organizations. However, when he hears that Majima, who was involved in a "new project" in Hawaii, has gone missing, he comes to Hawaii by himself. He is determined to bring Majima back to Japan safely.
Daisaku Minami (played by Hideo Ishikawa)
A former member of the Majima clan, he was the "number one henchman" of the clan. In his younger days, he was known for his love of karaoke, and was seen singing with a firm grip on the microphone in many parts of Kamurocho. He and Nishida, another former gang member, followed Majima to Hawaii, but were scattered when they went missing.
Nishida (Cast: Katsunori Okai)
Despite his unreliable appearance and weak presence, he has been through a lot of rough times. Perhaps as a result of being pushed around by Majima's reckless behavior for a long time, he is able to make an honest comment when Majima starts to say something outlandish.
He talks with his friends in the special "Kizuna Drama" event!
A special event called "Kizuna Drama" will occur as you interact with your friends at sea and in the city. Clearing these events will strengthen your abilities as a crew member.
Kizuna Drama Noah

After leaving the island and embarking on an adventurous journey with Majima, Noah enjoys talking about the events along the way, but suddenly mentions that he has not been able to convey his important feelings to his father, Jason. It is a must-see to see how Majima deals with Noah's problems.
Kizuna Drama Jason

Jason, a former treasure hunter, meets Majima and heads out to sea again with his son Noah. The film depicts the complicated parental feelings of a man who really cares about Noah more than anyone else, but is misunderstood because of his clumsiness.
Kizuna Drama Masaru

Masaru is a chef who spans the globe. Masaru has never been to Japan, so Mashima introduces him to the country's charms.
You can also enjoy walking around the city on your adventure!
Wire Hook
The pirate tool "wire hook" can also be used while walking around town! When fired at a hook point in town, Majima will make a big jump and go to places he normally would not go, as well as obtain valuable items.
Gorogoro Kitchen
The Gorogoro Kitchen allows you to create the best dishes with ingredients obtained from exploring the city and the sea. Depending on the dish you want to make, you can enjoy various cooking methods such as "making a fire," "knife handling," and "removing scum. Finished dishes also have effects such as recovery of energy and heat!
Habitat

The player's base of operations, the "hideout," becomes available as the main storyline progresses. Players can use functions such as energy recovery, coordination to change outfits, and item boxes. At certain hideouts, you can also look back on conversations with your friends.
Equipment Creation
At the "Juli's Gear Works" facility in Hawaii, you can use the materials you collect to make equipment such as ship's cannons and Mashima's rings. These are powerful pieces of equipment that can only be obtained here, so as soon as you have all the materials, go there and make the equipment.
Goro Kingdom

The Goro Kingdom is a breeding space created by Majima and his team in a vacant lot on Rich Island. If you protect animals in trouble in town, you can breed them here.
Animal Protection

Often you will see animals in trouble in town or elsewhere, such as being bullied or hungry. By helping them, the animals become friendly to Majima, so let's protect them and move them to Rich Island.
Feeding
Feed the migrated animals and they will give you meat, fish, or other cooking ingredients in return. If you take care of the animals enough times, they will give you valuable materials and some of them will even become members of the "Goro Pirates".
