The story of Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is set roughly six months after the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. For the best experience, you should play Infinite Wealth before starting your pirate adventure.
However, it is not necessary to do so. The game will reference some plot points from the previous games and introduce some recurring characters. Therefore, you might not understand these references.
So, the general consensus is that you should play Infinite Wealth before starting Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii for the best experience. However, it is not necessary to do so.
Alternatives
If you are unable to play Infinite Wealth at the moment for whatever reason, do not worry. There are some alternatives available that will liven up your pirate life. Firstly, you could try to catch up on the story of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This will give you the broad strokes of the story, helping you understand the current game better.
Secondly, you should also consider playing Yakuza 0 if you are unfamiliar with Goro Majima’s backstory. His origin plays out in Yakuza 0, which will give players better insight into the Mad Dog of Shimano.
Lastly, you also have the option to watch the videos released on SEGA’s YouTube channel. These three videos provide a broad overview of Majima’s story. They will surely give new fans at least some idea of what Majima has done up until now. These videos will naturally contain spoilers for many events, so you are advised to proceed with caution.
