The game's premise is intriguing, as it follows Goro Majima, a notorious ex-yakuza, who finds himself stranded on a remote Pacific island, unable to recall even his own name. Accompanied by a young boy named Noah, who saved his life, Majima sets sail in search of clues to his lost memories. However, he soon becomes embroiled in a conflict between cutthroat criminals, modern-day pirates, and other scoundrels vying for a legendary treasure.

Assembling a Pirate Crew and Upgrading the Ship

Players will have the opportunity to assemble a crew, upgrade their pirate ship, and engage in ship-to-ship battles as they navigate the open seas.
