Background Knowledge

However, when the country was united under Hideyoshi Toyotomi, he issued the proclamation against piracy, and the Murakami Navy was slowly robbed of it's power. The final resistance put forth by the Murakami naval forces of Noujima was met by the Kuki Navy, who had been defeated harshly in the past at the hands of the Murakami Navy. Both sides of the navy fought viciously in a series of battles at sea. While the Murakami forces originally held the advantage, they were eventually pressed back by the Kuki naval forces.
