Piikea then said to Umi-a-Liloa: “There is no other cause of death. My grandmothers, Hapuu and Kalaihauola, did the killing. They were sent by my mother to bring one of our children, but you have withheld it, and that is why the people are murdered.” “How may the killing by the gods cease, then?” asked Umi. Piikea answered: “When a child is obtained.” But he was skeptical of the death by the gods, yet the killing was still continuing. Therefore Umi-a-Liloa offered to fight the deities at the sandy plains of Kamakahonu. Human beings battle with their hands, clubs and stones, but the gods without hands, and when the battle was fought the gods were victorious over the battle of men. The place is called Kauakeakua and Kaiakeakua [182] to this day. As Hapuu and Kalaihauola were at the house with Piikea, the latter being pregnant with child, the old women slapped on Piikea’s knees and the child was delivered in front of one of the old women. The child being a girl, it was taken away by the said deities and lived in Oahu. Thus the child Kahaiaonui-a-Piikea, or Kahaiaonui-a-Umi, became the adopted of Laieloheloheikawai. When Umi-a-Liloa returned from the battle with the gods, behold the child was taken by Hapuu and Kalaihauola. It is said that there was another cause of the war; the unfaithfulness of Umi-a-Liloa relative to his children. He was asked for his offspring from the very first child, which he consented to give, but when a child was born he withheld it and would not give it, but promised that the next child would be theirs (the gods), and so on and on. This angered Piikea’s grandmothers and caused the battle between the gods and human beings. Umi-a-Liloa reigned over his kingdom until he became old, during which time he was at peace with the chiefs of Maui, and with his father-in-law Piilani, king of Maui. There were no wars during their reign, but at the death of Piilani, the king of Maui and the father of Piikea, the heir to the government of Maui acted unjustly, therefore Umi went to the defense of Kiha-a-Piilani, and, invading Hana, the forces of Hawaii captured the stronghold of Kauiki [183] and overthrew Lono-a-Piilani.
