With a fierce pedigree including Kamehameha (Hawaiian name: Kalani Paiʻea Wohi o Kaleikini Kealiʻikui Kamehameha o ʻIolani i Kaiwikapu kauʻi Ka Liholiho Kūnuiākea) the son of the then chief and future ruler of Hawaii, he was present at the battle where Cook died and was said to have shown great skill and valor. Other states would have no chance against the law of the splintered paddle.
