Chapter 170 - Baki's Story - Pirates: CAPTURE IV

Emelia is sitted comfortably at the right edge of the ship's mouth watching straight ahead the fancy show go on.

Clash sounds come in.

Baki stands upon the waters with a slight retract as he awaits the strike down from the Labrys in the arms of Query.

He makes it.

Baki jumps back, evades it, the waters splash. He spins clockwise with his legs like clock hands (in form of 3:30) Arms folded.

Baki makes an elegant landing with his right hand and face to the water.

Query's shadow comes in, he looks up and the Labrys comes at his left.

Immediately as it does, Baki bends back in attempt of evasion.

The blade makes contact with his chest, passes through like going through some dust and he flashes back.

Baki appears by his right sliding back with his right foot while his left remains on the air behind. He does so with his back bent.

As he goes, he wears a grin and navigates: right, left.

Query spins the weapon in his hand while he looks, stops it as it faces front and performs gear in that direction.

Baki reaches a point, he appears by his left, 3 feet away and goes gear again.

Baki brings down his leg, stands erect and guards his left shoulder with Sendai.

The man appears and sends the Labrys down with both hands. They clash.

Baki's eye balls glow, he releases smoke from his mouth, pushes him back with a slight yell and jumps a feet back.

Query retracts, comes back and attacks.

Baki readies Sendai and the fight begins.

Left and right, over one another. A double sweep from Baki by Query's left. He evades with a jump and brings down the weapon in his right hand towards Baki's head by his lower right.

Baki sends his blade over his head and blocks it. Holds for a bit and pushes Query back with force.

The waters flow.

He staggers back as Baki perform a hand flip with his right hand. He lands with a squat and surges after Query with his weapon positioned straight in both hands.

He reaches.

Query attempts to attack but gets struck with a sudden right spin kick to the chest.

He slides back with spread legs and faces back with a turn from the left. Then carries on to his left with elegant skis.

Emelia watches as clash sounds erupt once again.

She says in her heart...

"I don't know whether I should call this "embarrassing" or say "wow, this is cool""

She brings up a biscuit in her right hand towards her mouth and bites it off to the middle.

She munches and shifts her eyes to the left after a blink.

She sees Tempest sitted with aura on the 3rd step of the right stairs.

She looks with wonder as she picks up another with her right hand from an open plastic bag.

Then puts it in her mouth and devours.

A strong flight sound comes in and Tempest looks up.

Emelia looks up as well, as she faces front.

Sparks come in the clouds as multiple clashes occur.

Not so far above, the moon shines with strong light.

They fall down with their arms spread.

Baki brings his head up. Query, his head down. And they face one another.

The look for a bit, bring forth lightning from their body and zap in one direction.

Suddenly, a detonation occurs by the right of the ship and waves come forth.

It hits the ship and drifts it a bit as sparks surround the mushroom.

Mushroom - The shape an explosion takes.

Tempest and Emelia watch.

They blink as they do so.

A short time passes and they break forth from the waters spinning upwards.

On the way, they bend backwards and head back towards the water.

They reach, land with a backflip and charge towards themselves with no weapons.

They close in and Baki sends his right fist to Query's chest. He blocks with crossed arms and the force sips behind opening forth a chaotic path.

They engage themselves.

A little hand to hand. They make the place dance.

The vessel vibrates from the endless tremors as the spectators watch in a calm nature.

They punch themselves a little more and Query pushes Baki back a feet.

Baki grunts as he loses focus.

Query comes in at him, he senses, opens his eyes and gets thrown back with a major right hook to the face.

Baki comes to, makes a speedy back flip and evades the lightning strike from above.

It enters the water and opens it while Baki almost lands on his left knee. Looking down.

He centers his face, gasps a little, locks in and sharply skips to his right.

"How tall were you there, Baki?" - Mecca.

Evading the strong shoot of wind.

"6ft." - Baki.

"Pretty decent." Mecca compliments and Baki knocks the air before him twice.

"Pretty decent." Baki repeats as two forces come rushing towards Query.

Query, on sight, brings his hands together with speed. Left above right.

As they go, his fingers cuts through the air as pencils cut through jelly.

They jam and he spreads them (up and down)

The blasts reach. He forms a small air mirror. They hit and deflect.

He puts his fingers through and cracks the air above and below it. Then pushes it forward, breaking it from its source.

"Wow." - Askila.

He spins the mirror to the right and makes a turn in the same direction. Goes 360 and fires it with a thrust towards Baki.

It closes in and enlarges with sharper edges. Baki quickly draws Sendai with his left hand from the left.

His eyes glow immediately as he puts the hilt in both and blocks against the mirror with the tip facing down.

He power cuts through it while releasing smoke from his mouth.

He completely halves it and the pieces go flying.

While they go, Baki opens his mouth in shock and takes off to air above.

Query comes in and sends a strong slash from right to left.

A great force comes forth and shoots to who knows where.

On an island, a man dances in front of a camera as a song plays through the giant speakers by his back right.

A group of men and women stay behind the camera watching.

The blast comes in from behind the dancing man.

Some people in the group notice.

The blast hits and takes them all together with the island.

Sendai comes through Query's back with blood on it.

He holds with an open mouth.

Tempest and Emelia smile.

"What did I say?" - Tempest.

Blood pours out of his mouth and stomach.

"My...authority." Query says and looks to Baki's eyes.

He sees its calmness and lets out a slight grin.

"I trust...you." He declares and dies.

Baki removes Sendai and puts him slowly into the waters by his right.

He sinks.

Baki flings the blood off with a wave to the left.

His belt and scabbard appears by his right.

He sheathes.

The bruises on his body and ruptures on his clothes come undone.

He brings his head up and faces the ship.

Tempest and Emelia wave at him with their left and right.

He smiles and walks forward.

Baki puts his right hand on the opening edge of the ship, throws himself over and lands on his back.

He sighs.

Emelia brings her face over Baki's by his right and says with a smile...

"Welcome back."

He grins and says...

"Thanks for having me."

She grins, chuckles and kisses him.

"Wow! So it is true!" Tempest says and stands by Baki's left, 3 feet away after a right step.

They undo their kiss and look to him.

He holds a smile and moves forward.

"Let's have something to eat."

Not so long after they are sitted on chairs round a pot with some fire underneath, eating Ukwa (Bread Fruit) from plates.

"Mmm, you good, nigga!" - Baki.

Tempest looks to him by his right and says...

"Thank you, bro."

3 minutes later.

It's pitch black, the moon is gone. Only the ship's lights support sight.

Baki and Tempest are sitted on the 3rd step of the right stairs whereas Emelia is sitted on the 4th of the left.

"That was good cooking!" - Baki.

"Righhhhttt!" - Tempest.

"Just pray it ain't poisoned." Emelia says as she picks her teeth with a toothpick in her right hand.

She gets done and tosses it into the Ocean.

Baki burpes loud. Tempest goes louder.

Emelia goes the loudest and they look at her.

She faces them and sings with a smile...

"Whaaaat?"

Laughs come forth but they try to hold it in.

It comes in strong and they turn to their lower rights holding their mouths with their right hands.

Emelia hisses as she throws her face slowly to the left. She now places her jaw upon her left hand.

They burst out laughing and after a little while, she lets out some inside laughs.

They stop and face front.

Tempest takes himself back, raises his legs then says as he puts them down with his hands upon them and gets up...

"Whelp, let's go and fight."

He moves forward.

"C'mon now, we don't have to. Can't you surrender to me?" Baki says as he scratches his right leg.

"Nah brah! I'm taking it back." He says as he walks ten steps from Baki and faces him from his right.

"My crew. Those 25 you saved. I will claim them. We gon' start from scratch. You really tried. I acknowledge you, Prince. And you too, Princess." He says last as he shifts his eyes in Emelia's direction.

She blinks and he fixes his gaze back at Baki.

Baki sighs with closed as he faces down.

Sendai appears on the step by his left. He grabs it and comes forward.

As he comes near to Tempest, who holds a smile, a Katana appears in his right hand.

Baki unsheathes with his left and lets go of the scabbard behind. On the way down, it vanishes.

He spins it twice and brings it down.

"Why? You coulda used it as a shield." - Tempest.

"I'm not into that saying. Tho' it makes sense but just not now." - Baki.

"Why? It defeats your will as a Samurai." - Tempest.

"I think not." - Baki.

"Lol." - Tempest.

Baki smiles and calls as he slightly throws his face in her direction...

"Emelia! Please come."

She smiles, gets up and moves up while saying...

"Thought you'd never ask."

As she approaches, a rod with rings above and below appears in her left hand.

She stands strategically by his right.

"He's strong." - Baki.

"I know. Hate to admit but I too will struggle a bit." - Emelia.

"Oh please you make yourself sound special." - Tempest.

"I am special. And you know that." - Emelia.

"Lol." - Tempest.

"Lol." - Emelia.

"Lmao." - Baki.
