The game's story begins with Majima washing ashore on Rich Island near Hawaii. In the released reveal trailer, Majima is seen waking up battered on the beach. Another notable detail in the trailer is that Majima is accompanied by a child. This mysterious child appears to have an important role in the game's story. The trailer hints that Majima will embark on a journey with this child through Hawaii's exotic atmosphere.

In Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Goro Majima will fight pirates as a lone hero. At the core of the game lies Majima's struggle against pirates and his connection to the Palekana cult on Nele Island. The Palekana cult appears set to be one of the game's main antagonists. As the story unfolds and Majima tries to uncover the cult's secrets, his complicated relationship with the cult will come to light.

Majima's character development takes a different path from previous games in the series. Shedding his classic Yakuza identity to appear as a pirate offers fans of the series a new experience. The struggles Majima faces trying to survive as a pirate, and his battles against enemies along the way, will be one of the game's main sources of conflict.
