In Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, building the perfect pirate crew is crucial for progressing through the game's engaging storyline. Here's a guide to the best crew members you should recruit early on to swiftly move through the narrative, particularly during Chapter 2 when you first arrive at Madlantis, a Pirate Sanctuary hosting Naval Coliseum battles.
During this chapter, you delve deeper into the backstory of your initial crew members, Jason and Masaru, learning about their past betrayal in the Pirate Coliseum that led to the disbandment of their crew. Goro, the protagonist, is tasked with upgrading his ship and expanding his crew to participate in these naval battles. However, before you can proceed, you need to earn $10,000 to repair your ship and recruit five new crew members. Here are the top five crew members you can recruit with minimal effort to bypass this hurdle quickly.
Nickelle Kidman
Nickelle Kidman, a playful nod to Nicole Kidman, is an actor you'll find lounging near the beach in Honolulu. To recruit her, your crew needs to have a two-star rating, which you should already have by completing the main story missions up to this point. If not, you can quickly achieve this by finding treasure, defeating thugs, or engaging in naval battles.
Hammerhead
Hammerhead, located on the second floor of the Honolulu shopping center, is a straightforward recruit. You simply need to defeat him in a fight. His health isn't overly challenging, making him a quick addition to your crew, bringing you one step closer to completing the Pirate Yakuza storyline.

Kenzo
Kenzo, a ship hand found at the Honolulu dock area, can be recruited by giving him raw materials collected during your sea adventures or by paying him a modest sum. Given that you'll have amassed plenty of materials and money by this point, Kenzo is an easy and valuable addition to your crew.
Lucas
In Madlantis, Lucas challenges you to a fistfight after a humorous interaction with Goro. His combat style, enhanced by a melee weapon, makes the fight slightly more challenging than Hammerhead's, but manageable given your experience from previous boss battles.
Obispo
To recruit Obispo, dine at his restaurant in Honolulu five times. This task is made easier by the frequent enemy spawns around the area. Engage in battles to lower your health, then purchase a meal at Obispo's to meet the requirement. While slightly more time-consuming, this method is still straightforward compared to other recruitment tasks on the island.
These five crew members are the quickest and easiest to recruit in the early game, allowing you to progress through Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii with minimal delay. As you advance and face more challenging battles, you can focus on recruiting members with higher stats, which often require more effort.
And those are the best crew members to recruit in the early game for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
