Therefore, his immediate successor is his only grandson Oroonoko was given in teaching of one of the oldest generals of African wars when he was a teenager.

Japanese forces used the area to regroup from attacks against U.S. forces on the island, to launch further attacks on the U.S. defenses that guarded the Allied airfield (called Henderson Field) located at Lunga Point on Guadalcanal, as a base to defend against Allied attacks directed at Japanese troop and supply encampments between Point Cruz and Cape
