Chapter 115

Before they had gone far in the Yugi, Pegasus, who was passing by, came looking for them.

That's right, Pegasus was also invited by President Kaiba to participate in this competition.

Everyone was incredibly excited when they spotted the father of Duel Monsters at the opening ceremony.

This demonstrates the high level of prestige of the KC Cup.

Although Pegasus lost his ability to spy after losing his Millennium Eye, his strength is still guaranteed.

"Mr. Pegasus, I didn't expect you to be my last opponent in the qualifiers."

"However, I only need one more match to advance, so I accept this duel."

Although encountering this so soon might be a bit disappointing for the audience, the Yugi couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he readily agreed.

"Nice~, this is the Yugi boy I know~."

Pegasus revealed the Duel Disk with great interest.

"Duel!!" ×2

[Yugi Muto: LP4000]

[Pegasus J. Crawford: LP4000]

"I'll go first, draw a card!"

[Pegasus J. Crawford's hand: 5→6]

After glancing at his hand, Pegasus said, "Yugi boy, it's been since Duelist Kingdom that I've dueled with You, so let You reminisce about the power of the Toon Deck."

As he spoke, he swiped a card from his hand.

"I activate the Spell Card [Cartoon Bookmark] from my hand."

Add 1 card other than [Cartoon Bookmark] with the name [Toon World] or [Toon World] from your Deck to your hand.

"I add the Field Spell [Toon Kingdom] to my hand and activate it."

[Pegasus J. Crawford's hand: 6→5]

A huge book was opened, and a cartoon castle appeared on it.

"[Toon Kingdom] requires banishing the top three cards of my deck face down when activated."

"And as long as this card is on the field, its name is treated as [Toon World]."

Pegasus' unique Toon Deck core was easy to grasp immediately.

"Be careful, Pegasus's deck has probably evolved too, AIBO!"

"Um!"

Immediately afterwards, Pegasus played his next card.

"Then I activated Quick-Play Spell from my hand [Toon Page-Turner]."

This effect can only be activated if you control [Toon World]. Reveal 3 Toon monsters with different names from your Deck to your opponent. Your opponent then randomly selects 1 of those monsters. Special Summon that monster to your field, ignoring its Summoning conditions. Return the remaining monsters to your Deck.

[Pegasus J. Crawford's hand: 5 → 4]

"These are the three monsters I've chosen..."

Three cards were revealed in the Yugi.

--[Toon Dark Magician],[Toon Red-Eyes Black Dragon],[Toon Chaos Soldier].

Pegasus smiled and said to him in broken Japanese, "OK, Yugi boy, you choose a monster."

Chapter 160 Toon Deck

Looking at the three cartoonish monsters in front of him, King remarked, "They're all monsters we're familiar with. Pegasus is as mischievous as ever."

Soon the three cards were shuffled face down, and the Yugi randomly pointed to the card on the left.

"Oh~, the monster you chose is [Toon Dark Magician], therefore I will Special Summon this monster."

A flash of light appeared, and a cartoonish Dark Magician was summoned.

[Toon Dark Magician: Attack Power 2500]

"And I activate the monster effect of [Toon Dark Magician]."

Once per turn, you can discard 1 [Toon] card from your hand and activate 1 of the following effects.

●Special Summon 1 Toon monster from your Deck, except [Toon Dark Magician], ignoring its Summoning conditions.

● Add 1 [Toon] Spell/ Trap Card from your Deck to your hand.

"I discard [Toon Masked Sorcerer] from my hand and add the Counter Trap [Toon Narrator] from my deck to my hand."

"It can even detect counter-trap traps! This monster is amazing!"

When King saw Pegasus take the Trap Card into his hand, he gasped.

The Yugi's expression also became slightly serious. This Toon Deck's counter trap is a card that counters all attacks, making it an extremely powerful card in this environment where there aren't many counters yet.

Moreover, as a three-speed card, the Yugi requires at least one card to be used to bait out its effect.

"Finally, set one card face down. My turn is over."

[Pegasus J. Crawford's hand: 4 → 3]

It goes without saying what he was covering.

"Alright, Yugi boy, it's your turn."

"Um."

After Yugi in response, Yugi drew a card from his deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→6]

The Yugi glanced at his hand, thought for a moment, and quickly played a card to bait out a winning hand.

"Continuous Spell [Future Fusion] activated!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6 → 5]

"During your next Standby Phase after activating this card, send the Polymerization Materials of the Fusion Monster from your Deck to the Graveyard, and Special Summon that Fusion Monster during your second Standby Phase."

Upon hearing the Yugi's description, Pegasus suddenly wore an exaggerated expression, "Oh~, amazing~! What a powerful card this is~! Not only can it send your monsters to the graveyard, but it can also summon powerful Fusion Monster."

"Yugi boy, are you trying to build a graveyard using the [Five Array Magician] effect?"

He seemed to have foreseen the Yugi's plans, and then voiced his guess.

The Yugi stared at him expressionlessly, offering no response.

"It's no use, Yugi boy. Even if you make that face, I've already seen through your plan."

So Pekka Bass activated his face card, "Therefore I activate face card to counter the trap [Toon Narrator]!"

You can activate this effect when you control a [Toon World] or a Toon monster, or when a monster's effect, Spell Card, or Trap Card is activated. Negate that activation and destroy it.

Bang!

The [Future Fusion] image, which had just appeared, shattered instantly.

Upon seeing this, the Yugi frowned slightly, but it was within expectations.

So he inserted another card into the Duel Disk, "Then I'll activate the Spell Card [Ace Number] from my hand."

Discard 1 card from your hand, Special Summon 1 [Queen's Knight] from your Deck, and add 1 of [King's Knight] or [Jack's Knight] from your Deck to your hand. After that, you can Summon 1 monster.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5 → 3]

He discarded one card from his hand and then took three cards directly from the deck.

The three cards are lined up in a row on the Duel Disk.

"First, based on the card's effect, Special Summon [Queen's Knight] in Defense Position."

"Then, summon [King's Knight X] in Attack Position, and if [King's Knight] is on the field, Special Summon [Jack's Knight Queen's Knight]."

Three knights dressed in playing card-themed armor appeared one after another on the Yugi field.

[Queen's Knight: Defense 1600]

[King's Knight: Attack Power 1600]

[Jack's Knight: Attack Power 1900]

"Wonderful~, he can summon three monsters in one go! No wonder he's Yugi boy!"

"However, no matter how many monsters you summon, it's useless against me. As long as [Toon World] exists on the field, Toon monsters can ignore monster defenses and attack the player directly."

Hearing Pegasus's words, Yugi shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

"It's alright, I've already prepared a plan..."

As he spoke, he inserted the three cards in his hand into the Duel Disk one by one.

"I'll cover three more cards, then the turn ends."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3 → 0]

Pegasus & King:...

This inhuman, hellish thing.

"Cough cough!"

Pegasus coughed twice and then said, "Using traps as a countermeasure!? But, it's still useless. [Toon Kingdom] can negate the destruction of Toon monsters by banishing cards from the deck. Traps are ineffective against my monsters!"

"Yeah?"

The Yugi slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and he subconsciously glanced at a face-down card at his feet.

Just then, Pegasus caught his subtle glance.

"That card...?"

Although Pegasus had lost his Millennium Eye, his observational skills were still very strong. He immediately spotted the Yugi's gaze and identified a target.

So he's not worried at all about those three face-down cards in the Yugi.

"My turn!"

[Pegasus J. Crawford's hand: 3→4]

Pegasus placed the card he had drawn in his left hand, then threw the other card from his hand into the graveyard. "Let me eliminate You's face-down card first."

"Activate the special effect of [Toon Dark Magician] once more, discard [Toon Mermaid] from your hand, and add the Spell Card [Toon Catalog] from your Deck to your hand."

"And activate this [Toon Catalog] to add a [Toon] card from the deck to my hand. I chose [Toon Harpy Lady]."

No matter how many times he watched it, King was speechless. "It's another cartoon form of a monster we're familiar with. Pegasus really likes cartoon monsters."

Pegasus placed the card on the Duel Disk.

"I activate the monster effect of [Toon Harpy Lady]."

This effect can be activated if you control [Toon World]. Special Summon this card from your hand. If you control other Toon monsters, you can also destroy 1 Spell/ Trap Card your opponent controls.

After a flash of light, a shrunken, cartoonish Harpie Lady was projected.

[Toon Harpy Lady: Attack Power 1300]

[Pegasus J. Crawford's hand: 4 → 3]

Chapter 161 Intrigue and Schemes

After the monster was brought into the field, Pegasus pointed to a face-down card at the feet of the Yugi.

"Using the effect of [Toon Harpy Lady], destroy the face-down card to your right!"

Immediately, the Toon Harpy Lady flew over and kicked the Yugi's special attention card.

But at that moment, the corners of Yugi's mouth suddenly turned up in a smile, "You've been tricked, Pegasus!"

What!?
