After a while, they ran out of ammo. Just as they began changing magazines, Baki charged at one of them and sent him flying into the wall. Another attacked Baki from behind with a knife. Baki caught his hand and twisted it, then slammed his head to the attackers face.
The last two rushed in together. One threw a kick at Baki, but he grabbed the leg and slammed him into the other man.
The yakuza he'd smashed into the wall crawled toward his gun and aimed at Baki. Before he could fire, Baki seized the muzzle and twisted the weapon.
Seeing this, the yakuza was terrified. He started crawling backward, but Baki grabbed him by the neck and lifted him into the air.
"There should be civilians on this ship. Where are they?" Baki demanded. Before he could get an answer, bullets rained toward him. He immediately used the yakuza as a meat shield and rushed behind cover.
The yakuza slowly advanced toward Baki's position. When they reached the cover, they found only the dead body.
Baki came from behind and snapped the necks of two yakuza. The others spun around but found nothing.
"Where is he?" one whispered.
A soft sound came from above. All eyes snapped upward—but it was already too late.
Baki dropped through a ceiling panel directly into their midst. Before the first yakuza could raise his rifle, Baki's palm strike slammed into his chest. The man flew backward and crashed into a metal beam.
Two more opened fire. Baki weaved between the bullets in a zigzag motion. He grabbed one yakuza's wrist and twisted it, snapping bone. The gun clattered to the floor. Baki's fist crashed across the man's head.
The second shooter kept firing as he backed up. Baki closed the distance fast, ducked under the gunfire, and drove his elbow up into the man's jaw.
Footsteps echoed from both ends of the hallway. From the right, four men charged through. The first swung a metal pipe at Baki's head. Baki caught it mid-swing and yanked the man forward, driving his knee into his gut. He swept the next attacker's legs out from under him, then stomped down on his head.
A knife flashed toward Baki's side. He twisted, letting it pass, then trapped the attacker's arm. His other hand shot forward into the man's throat. The yakuza collapsed, clawing at his neck.
The last one from the right pulled a pistol, but Baki moved faster. He closed in and grabbed the gun hand, pointing it at the ceiling as it fired. Baki headbutted the yakuza, breaking his nose, then swept his legs and stomped on his gun hand.
From the left corridor, three more rushed in. One raised his gun and fired. Baki kicked an unconscious yakuza near his feet. The body slid across the floor and crashed into the shooter's legs just as he fired, throwing off his aim.
Baki rushed forward and punched the first yakuza in the stomach. As the man doubled over, Baki's knee came up and struck his face, sending him flying back.
The second swung a crowbar. Baki ducked under it, stepped close, and hit him twice in the body, cracking ribs. Then an uppercut lifted the yakuza off his feet before he crashed down.
The last yakuza dropped his weapon and raised his hands. "Wait! Wait! Don't hurt me! I'll tell you whatever you want."
Baki closed in on him. "Take me to where you're keeping the civilians."
Following the yakuza, Baki reached a door. Before the yakuza could speak, Baki grabbed his head and twisted it ninety degrees.

"I'm scared... How did things turn out this way? What will happen to me now?" Da-Young thought as she curled into a ball.
Looking at the dead bodies nearby, she whispered, "I've been trying to leave since earlier, but the door won't open. Will I end up like these people? Someone please help me. Someone, please..."
Just as she was thinking this, the door suddenly opened. A red-haired man entered the room. Da-Young couldn't tell if he was a savior or not.
Baki asked, "Are you Da-Young?"
Da-Young looked up with her bruised face and nodded. Baki said, "I've been sent by the White Tiger Job Center to rescue you. You need to follow me now."
Da-Young was scared to go back home, but she got up and started to leave with Baki. Suddenly, a new person entered the room.
