Yu-Gi-Oh! Starting from Duel City

Chapter 226 Pay attention, the God of Gamblers is about to start showing off!

"Lord Naia? Why are you here?"

Seeing the young man who suddenly entered the duel and appeared in his field of vision, the appearance of which was very similar to the young Kaiba, except that his hair was green, Ooka Chikuzen's eyes suddenly showed an uncontrollable look. Shocked look.

He had just issued a military order to Naia not long ago, saying that he would definitely defeat Yu Ling and his gang. The last thing he wanted to happen was an accident during the duel.

However, the more you worry about something, the more something will happen.

Just when Ooka Tsukumae, who was secretly cheating, changed the results of the dice and coins in the duel three times in a row, and was about to win, Naia, the referee, took the initiative to show up and shouted stop. This is an unfair duel right now.

"What? Naia? Isn't he with the five elders?"

Seeing Naia's confusing behavior at this moment, everyone, including You Ling, couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, showing a puzzled expression.

Ooka Chikuzen, who was sitting upright on the stage, stood up even more excitedly and asked doubtfully in the direction of Naia: "Why did you stop, Naia-sama! You're only a little short of me." I have completed the mission you gave me and can defeat Jonouchi!"

"Hmph! Knock down?"

With a disdainful sneer in his mouth, Naia, who heard what Ooka Chizen said, cast her eyes in his direction with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Ooka... you think I really didn't find out that you used those cheats in the duel. Is it about means? Are you teasing me like a fool?"

"Ah... this subordinate doesn't dare!"

Ooka Chikuzen, who was directly slapped with a big hat by Naia, suddenly had a row of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

In this kind of refutation with superiors, even if it is reasonable, it is useless, not to mention that Ooka Chikuzen is actually in an unreasonable state now.

"Nani? A means of cheating?"

Compared to Ooka Chikuzen, who was being stared at by Naia, Jonouchi, who was also involved, had a new reaction faster.

Almost as soon as Naia's words fell, Jonouchi, who had been focusing on the duel, realized the problem and subconsciously repeated the key words in Naia's words.

"That's right, Jonouchi...your opponent Ooka Chikuzen deliberately tampered with the duel and changed the results of your gambling cards. Therefore, you missed the three opportunities just now and missed several victories in vain. Chance."

"What? There is such a thing?"

After getting confirmation from Naia himself, Jonouchi immediately pointed the finger at his silent opponent: "Hey! The fifth old bastard, is what he said true?"

"...As Wei'er said, this guy really cheated in some way that we don't understand."

His eyes swept over Ooka Chikuzen, who was gritting his teeth, and Kaiba Naia, who took the initiative to show up. While one doubt was answered, another new doubt also appeared in Yu Ling's mind at the same time: "But why, and Naia, who is always in the same group as the Five, wants to go out of his way to expose his tricks? Could it be that they had a falling out because of the uneven distribution of the spoils? Or is it that Naia is actually a righteous Masked Superman and can't stand the despicable methods of his subordinates? "

Thinking about the new questions, You Ling decided to stay put for the time being, and continued to raise his eyes to watch the farce being performed on the duel field.

"...Naia-sama! What I have done is actually part of the battle plan!"

Unlike when he was dealing with Yu Rei and Jonouchi, when facing Naia, Ooka Chikuzen showed the respectful attitude of a subordinate facing his superior.

Ooka Chikuzen, who carefully considered his words, explained to Naia the reason why he did this: "The current duel is about whether I can get freedom from here. This is not participating in the highly anticipated Olympics. What does it matter if you move your hands and feet a little bit?"

"You guy...are you trying to disobey my order?"

Not accepting Ooka Chikuzen's explanation at all, Naia cast a dangerous look at him in a bad tone: "Even if you win the duel with that dirty method, it doesn't really count as defeating your opponent. It’s just that you are self-satisfied.”

"And you doing this kind of thing with my acquiescence will only make it impossible for me to truly surpass Seto Kaiba!"

Naia has an inexplicably strong attachment and sense of confrontation towards Seto Kaiba.

If Kaiba himself were here, he should be able to see from the current Naia the self of the past when he was adopted by Gozaburo, the self who longed for the recognition of others and worked hard.

"...So that's it, that's it! It turns out that the reason why I didn't guess correctly three times was because my opponent cheated!"

Even though he did not get a personal admission from Ooka Chikuzen, the behavior he showed was tantamount to a disguised admission of the fact that he had cheated.

After realizing this and realizing that he was not actually abandoned by the goddess of destiny, a confident smile reappeared on Jonouchi's face.

"Anyway, within the city, this duel ends here... Ooka, you will have to pay the corresponding price for your stupid behavior. Please be prepared for this."

"How could this be possible! Master Naia, I..."

"It's useless to talk too much!"

"No, let this duel continue!"

"...Nani?"

Just when Naia stretched out his arm towards Ooka Chikuzen, intending to humanely destroy him, a voice from within the city suddenly echoed in his ears, causing Naia to pause in his movements.

On the stage, Ooka Chikuzen had an expression of incomprehensible astonishment on his face.

"If you cheat, just cheat. In gambling, as long as you are not discovered, cheating is actually a very normal thing."

After a pause, Jonouchi, who was watched by the gazes from around him, then smiled and said: "But no matter when and where, we must fight seriously!"

"I don't know about other people, but for me, once the duel begins, no matter what happens in the middle, I will not give up midway!"

In the yellow-haired boy's city, he just told the people who looked at him about his determination.After hearing what he said, Naia also smiled with interest and put down her originally raised arm.

"Interesting. Although for me, you are still in this duel, but it's just a bonus from Seto. But since you said so, then let's do whatever you want."

Just like the time when he suddenly appeared, after saying these words, Naia suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

With Naia leaving, the duel returned to its previous state, returning to the moment when Jonouchi ushered in his last round.

"Hello..."

Seeing Jonouchi voluntarily giving up this opportunity to seek fairness, Kyoko couldn't help but reveal a complicated expression on her face: "Jounouchi, are you serious about what you just said? Do you want to continue this kind of duel?" "

"Ah, I am very serious. What I said just now is also my true inner thought."

Nodding slightly to his companions on the side, Jonouchi then moved towards where Ooka Chikuzen was: "What do you say? Mr. Lawyer? Your boss allowed this duel? Do you want to continue the duel?"

"Hmph! Jonouchi...let me tell you something."

While sneering, Ooka Chikuzen hummed to Jonouchi who was looking at him: "As a lawyer, I will also not give up on a lawsuit that I took over midway."

"In that case, it's decided."

"Ha... you were so frustrated just now. After you found out about my cheating, your attitude immediately changed 180 degrees." Not knowing how to describe Jonouchi, he said mockingly: "Jounouchi, You are such an optimistic fool!"

"What if you find out that I secretly manipulated people during the duel? Do you think the current situation will get better? No, there won't be any change!"

Taking the initiative to give up the chance of survival and persisting in a duel that is bound to lose is such a stupid move. What else is it stupid?
Even though Ooka Chikuzen has seen all kinds of strange things in his career as a lawyer, this is the first time he has seen such a stupid young man like Jonouchi.

Has he understood the current situation?
"Oh, about the things you said...who knows if we don't find out?"

Jonouchi shook the duel plate in his hand, with a confident smile on his face, and responded to Ooka Chikuzen on the stage: "I haven't been abandoned by the goddess of luck yet!"

"What a stupid guy. What can you do with only the last round left?"

"About this, you should be careful next time!"

Putting his finger on the top of the deck, Jonouchi said so and suddenly pulled out the card at the top: "It's my turn, my turn, draw a card!"

"Entering the main stage 1, I will activate the magic card [Pot of Desire] that I just drew! Depending on the effect of this card, I can draw two more cards from the deck."

A ferocious-looking green pot with big yellow teeth bared in its mouth appeared in front of Jonouchi's body along with the light.

As Jonouchi drew two new cards from the deck, the pot that had completed its mission also dissipated into the void on its own, turning into specks of golden dust.

"Hehehe... It seems that my card drawing skills have not deteriorated yet!"

Glancing at the two cards he just drew, Jonouchi stretched out his hand and pointed at the deck leader standing with his arms folded beside him: "Next, I summon the [Flaming Swordsman] as the deck leader (attack power: 1800 → 1000)! Then activate the equipment magic card in your hand towards him and equip him with [The Magic Sword to Kill Allies - Burning Soul]!"

[The Swordsman of Fire], who had been watching the show with his arms folded, responded to Jonouchi's call and came to the front of his body.

Since he previously used his own attributes to add buffs to the two warrior-type monsters, his attack power is now not the original 1800 points, but 1000 points after dropping twice.

As the equipment magic card was activated, a golden curved-blade magic sword with eyes appeared in the hand of [Swordsman of Fire].

Just like the literal meaning of this card, the Equip Magic Card [Sword that Kills Allies - Burning Soul] can be used once per turn by liberating a monster on your field other than the equipped monster, and allows the equipped monster to attack until the end of the turn. Strength, increase the original attack power value of the liberated monster.

"Soul-burning magic sword? I remember this card is a card that requires you to free the extra monsters on your field in order to activate its effect..."

Looking at the card activated by Jonouchi at this moment, Ooka Chikuzen couldn't help but have a look of doubt in his eyes: "But, there is no monster on your field that meets this condition!"

What does this guy in the city want to do?
Is this just a deliberate bluff?
"Ah, you're right. If you just equip this card, it doesn't make any sense... But, I still have another card in my hand!"

Nodding in agreement with his opponent's point of view, Jonouchi said this, then took out the last card in his hand and inserted it hard into the back of the duel plate: "This is my trump card! The magic card [Bitter Decision] 】launch!"

"What? It's actually [bitter decision]?!"

Looking at the second magic card that Jonouchi pulled out, Ooka Chikuzen couldn't help but open his mouth.

They already knew that they would cheat in the duel, but this guy from Jonouchi still didn't give up, and still pinned his hopes on the effect of this kind of gambling.

What on earth is this guy thinking?

"[Bitter Decision], I remember that the effect of this card is to draw two cards from the top of the deck, and then let the opponent blindly select the magic card of one of the cards..."

"What do you mean? What on earth do you want to do if you specifically activate this card in the city?"

Kyoko, who was unfamiliar with this uncommon card, didn't understand the current situation of the duel.

Looking at Kyoko next to her, who looked confused and obviously hadn't figured out what was going on, Yu Ling explained to her out of kindness: "These cards that were drawn through the effect of [Bitter Decision] will be given to the opponent. to choose, and if the selected monster card is a monster card, Jonouchi can unconditionally summon it to his own field. In this way, the magic card required to equip the magic card [Sword that kills companions - Burning Soul] The sacrifices will come naturally."

"What if the monster card is not selected?"

"If you don't choose, you will have to send all the drawn cards to the graveyard. Jonouchi will also miss the opportunity to win, and we will be defeated like this."
