The Protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Might Be the Same Person

He still needed to figure out how to deal with President Kaiba's next turn, but he didn't have any options in hand right now, so he decided to target President Kaiba's hand.

He then inserted another card from his hand into the Duel Disk, "I'll activate the Equip Spell [Thief's Smoke Ball] from my hand and equip it to [Iron Knight Memory Fried]."

[Katsuya Jonouchi Hand: 3 → 2]

The moment this card appeared on Jonouchi's back row, it was shattered by Iron Knight's blade.

"At this moment, when the Equip Spell [Thief's Smoke Ball] is destroyed by another card's effect, look at the opponent's hand and discard one card."

Jonouchi grinned slyly, "Heh heh, Kaiba, let me see your hand."

"Tch! Another combo achieved through a negative effect? Always playing dirty tricks..."

President Kaiba reluctantly revealed his hand.

--[Monster Reborn], [Enemy Controller], [Giant Virus]!

Looking at these three cards, Jonouchi's eyes lit up, "Got it, it's this one!"

He pointed at the middle card with his finger.

"I choose to discard [Enemy Controller]."

Jonouchi selected a card that greatly surprised President Kaiba. In Kaiba's opinion, discarding [Monster Reborn], a revival card with no conditions, would have been the optimal choice.

However, even though President Kaiba couldn't understand why, he still discarded the card according to Jonouchi's choice.

[Seto Kaiba Hand: 3 → 2]

"I'll place one card face-down, and end my turn."

With an additional face-down card in Jonouchi's back row, his turn ended.

[Katsuya Jonouchi Hand: 2 → 1]

"My turn!"

[Seto Kaiba Hand: 2 → 3]

President Kaiba's lips curled slightly, "Regret your foolish choice just now, you peasant!"

"By the power of [Monster Reborn], I summon my second [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]."

With that, President Kaiba activated [Monster Reborn] from his hand.

"I activate the effect of [Monster Reborn] to Special Summon [Paladin of White Dragon] from the graveyard."

The Paladin of White Dragon reappeared before President Kaiba.

[Paladin of White Dragon: ATK 1900]

[Seto Kaiba Hand: 3 → 2]

With this monster, President Kaiba could Special Summon a second White Bride from his deck.

But this move played right into Jonouchi's plan.

Jonouchi immediately pressed the button, "Haha, you fell for it, Kaiba! I've been waiting for this moment!"

"I activate the Trap Card [Gravekeeper's], which allows me to use one card from the opponent's graveyard as my own. The card I choose is... the Spell Card [Enemy Controller]."

Gravekeeper's flipped over the card in its hand, revealing [Enemy Controller].

"Nani!?"

President Kaiba's pupils contracted sharply.

Jonouchi continued, "[Enemy Controller]'s effect allows me to control a monster on the opponent's field by paying 1000 Life Points and inputting a command. But I can also use its other effect."

A giant controller appeared in front of Jonouchi.

[Katsuya Jonouchi: LP 3700 → 2700]

"Up, left, down, right, A~~!"

After he entered the command, a wire extended from the controller and plugged into the White Bride.

"No way!"

President Kaiba already understood what the opponent intended to do.

"By inputting this command, I can destroy [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]."

As Jonouchi finished speaking, the White Bride behind President Kaiba instantly exploded.

Chapter Sixty-Five: The President's Fury

"Yosh!!"

Jonouchi excitedly clenched his fists.

After destroying the White Bride, President Kaiba no longer had any cards that could destroy Jonouchi's monsters.

"Oh no! You peasant, how dare you do that to my [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]!"

President Kaiba was getting angry.

"Beautiful! Intentionally discarding Kaiba's [Enemy Controller] was precisely to utilize its effect."

"After all, using the opponent's cards in a duel is also a key factor in determining victory. Jonouchi-kun's play just now was indeed well done."

King and Yugi praised him repeatedly from the sidelines.

"Heh heh, how about that, Kaiba? You're out of moves now, aren't you?"

Jonouchi was feeling extremely smug at the moment.

"You incompetent fool, prepare yourself! I will crush you with all my might next!"

President finally began to get serious.

"Hey, I can't have it any other way! Bring it on, Kaiba!"

Jonouchi, who had managed to frustrate President, was getting a bit overconfident.

However, angering President was no small matter.

At this moment, President slammed a card from his hand onto his Duel Disk: "I activate my hand to Special Summon [Giant Virus] in Attack Position."

A flash of light streaked across, and a massive sphere appeared before President.

[Giant Virus: ATK 1000]

[Seto Kaiba Hand: 2 → 1]

"Next, I offer [Paladin of White Dragon] as a tribute to Special Summon a second [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from my Deck!"

The Paladin of White Dragon vanished once more, and then a second White Bride appeared.

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon: ATK 3000]

He then inserted another card from his hand into his Duel Disk: "I activate the Spell Card [Card of Demise]. Until my hand has 5 cards, I draw cards from my Deck. At the start of the fifth Standby Phase after this effect resolves, I must send all cards in my hand to the Graveyard."

President drew five cards in one go.

[Seto Kaiba Hand: 1 → 5]

"Five cards... This is bad!"

With so many cards drawn, Jonouchi's situation might become very dire.

President glanced at his hand and then inserted one card into his Duel Disk: "I activate the Spell Card [Burst Stream of Destruction] from my hand. If I control a [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], I can destroy all monsters on the opponent's field!"

[Seto Kaiba Hand: 5 → 4]

"No!!"

Jonouchi was startled.

"Go, [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]! Annihilate that annoying piece of trash!"

At this moment, the White Bride's mouth gathered light and shot forward, instantly pulverizing the Iron Knight in the blinding light.

"Ngh--!"

With no follow-up, Jonouchi could only watch as his monster was destroyed.

"It's not over yet! I'll use [Giant Virus] for a direct attack on you!"

Following President's command, the Giant Virus unleashed poisonous gas, engulfing Jonouchi.

[Katsuya Jonouchi: LP 2700 → 1700]

"After activating [Burst Stream of Destruction], [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] cannot attack. However, the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] summoned by [Paladin of White Dragon] could not attack in the first place. You got lucky this time, you fool!"

He then inserted two more cards from his hand into his Duel Disk.

"Finally, I'll set two cards face-down. My turn ends."

[Seto Kaiba Hand: 4 → 2]

Now it was Jonouchi's turn. He needed to draw cards that would allow him to replenish his hand significantly to turn the tide.

"My turn, draw!"

[Katsuya Jonouchi Hand: 1 → 2]

After a quick glance at the card he drew, Jonouchi became excited: "Yes! I got it!"

He immediately played the card: "I activate the Spell Card [Destiny Draw] from my hand. I roll a die once and draw a number of cards from my Deck equal to the result. Then, I banish a number of cards from the top of my Deck equal to the result."

With that, a die was thrown and rolled onto the ground.

--4!

"All right! This way I can draw four cards..."

[Katsuya Jonouchi Hand: 2 → 5]

"Hmph! This fool... the only thing commendable about him is his luck!"

President smirked, crossing his arms and taunting Jonouchi.

However, he wouldn't be smiling for long.

At this moment, Jonouchi had inserted a card from his hand into his Duel Disk: "I activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn] from my hand to Special Summon one monster from the Graveyard. I choose..."

[Katsuya Jonouchi Hand: 5 → 4]

Speaking, he pointed his finger at President Kaiba.

"Kaiba, the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] in your graveyard will be summoned to my field."

One of President Kaiba's White Brides was stolen onto Jonouchi's field.

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon: ATK 3000]

"How dare you... a duelist like you wants to control my [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]... I will never allow you to insult me..."

Stolen by Jonouchi, President Kaiba trembled with rage, feeling like his head was turning green.

"Huh... I feel like I've done something very bad."

Looking at President Kaiba's furious expression, Jonouchi's heart pounded.

Yugi & King: "It's more than bad, you've touched his berserk button."

Given President Kaiba's incredible love for his White Brides, he definitely wouldn't let Jonouchi off easy.

But Jonouchi couldn't worry about that anymore and could only brace himself.

So he picked up three cards from his hand: "I activate the Ritual Spell [Black Luster Ritual] from my hand, tributing [Rocket Warrior] Level 4 as a sacrifice to Ritual Summon [Black Lancer]!"

A black knight riding a black dragon appeared on Jonouchi's field.

[Black Lancer: ATK 1900]

[Jonouchi Katsuya Hand: 4 → 1]

"And I tribute [Black Lancer] as a sacrifice to Special Summon [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] from my Deck."

The newly appeared Black Lancer immediately disappeared, and then Red-Eyes Black Dragon appeared.

[Red-Eyes Black Dragon: DEF 2000]

Then, he activated his last card in hand: "I activate the Spell Card [Black Flame Bullet]."

Activate by targeting 1 [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] in your Monster Zone. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of that [Red-Eyes Black Dragon].
