Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has a total of 31 Substories. All Substories take place in Hawaii, with the first being available in Chapter 2 and becoming available as you progress the story. Substories typically unlock a minigame, or a pirate crew member. The Minato Girls also each have their own substory that must be completed for the trophy/achievement My Dream Minato Girl. Completing substories is required for the following trophies:
-
Taking the Scenic Route – Completed 10 substories. - Main Story? What’s That? – Completed 20 substories.
- My Dream Minato Girl – Partied with the Minato Girls and found true love.
- High-Speed Pirate – Won 3 different cups in Dragon Kart.
- Erudite Pirate – Obtained 5 certificates from the Ounabara Vocational School.
- Crazy Captain – Completed all Crazy Delivery courses.
Unlike typical Yakuza/Like a Dragon games, you aren’t required to complete substories to face Amon, as this is tied to the Pirates’ Coliseum which has its own task section and these aren’t counted as substories. It is recommended you still complete most substories though as you receive several high level crew members either directly as rewards or from completing activities unlocked by the substories.

New in this duel are explosive barrels you need to watch for spread around the area. Try to continually grab and use the shield picks and ignore the rockets, then aim to attack the Michios hard when you have the shield up. There is also a lightning pickup in the middle of the area that will hit all the enemies at once that you can try to camp.
