Chapter 2 introduces the Pirate Coliseum in Madlantis, requiring ship and crew upgrades. While crew recruitment is straightforward, the $10,000 ship repair presents a challenge. Three primary money-making avenues exist early in the game: bounty hunting, treasure hunting, and completing jobs in Honolulu.

Treasure hunting, while viable, proves time-consuming and requires venturing outside Honolulu. For faster progress, bounty hunting is recommended.

Honolulu bounties offer the quickest route to $10,000. Smaller bounties yield around $2,000, while larger ones can reach $16,000. However, larger bounties present significant combat challenges early in the game.

A balanced approach involves tackling lower-difficulty bounties ($2,000-$6,000). Utilize Goro's Sea Dog style for crowd control and Mad Dog style for boss fights.
