Yu-Gi-Oh!: I've Been Kidnapped by the Spirits and Taken to Duel City

Chapter 78 Malik: Finally ashore, but it seems not completely ashore.

"I am Malik."

Lishid raised his counterfeit thousand-year-old tin staff, opened his eyes, and began to lie:

"This thousand-year-old tin staff can prove it."

Jonouchi, with her beady eyes, said, "No, nobody needs you to prove it."

Lishid: ......

Sorry, I mixed up my lines.

"I am Malik, the leader of Gurus."

Lishid projected his imposing and taciturn image: "I'm going to kidnap you and brainwash you with this thousand-year-old scepter."

After saying that, he held the forged ancient tin staff in his hand a little further away, as if this would increase its credibility.

It was only then that Honda and the others realized that the other party wanted to kidnap them.

Shizuka, frightened, hid behind the castle.

But Jonouchi and Honda were not flustered at all, and even seemed to want to laugh.

A mere dozen or so burly men thought they could kidnap the two of them?

If you're playing cards, we might panic a bit, but fighting?

Excuse me, how about learning about the Land War God?

Even Ryuji Otogi used the dice-throwing technique to save the day in the original work, which clearly shows that his combat strength is also considerable.

He even got into a fight with Honda out of jealousy, resulting in the two of them almost falling off the airship and being wiped out.

Katsuya Jonouchi grinned maliciously, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked.

"Heh heh, your voice doesn't even sound like that bastard Malik's. You must have had one of his underlings impersonating you!"

Orange juice's moment of brilliance.

Lishid remained expressionless: "I have a cold."

Honda laughed heartily: "An explanation is just a cover-up; you've completely exposed yourself."

"If we beat you to the ground, we'll know where that bastard Malik is hiding."

But will things really go that smoothly? There's a chicken sauce here that's known as the "thousand-year hostage."

Lishid sighed. "Did you really think I would kidnap someone unprepared?"

Just before Jonouchi and Honda were about to officially begin their fight, a dozen burly men from Gurus sneered in unison and pulled out submachine guns from under their black robes.

The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at the group, flashing with the cold light of death.

Honda was nearby, so I recognized it immediately.

Wow~ The Thomson submachine gun, known as the Chicago typewriter!

With a maximum rate of fire of 800 rounds per minute, it only takes a few seconds to implant half a pound of iron into the bodies of everyone present.

You're being far too polite and overly enthusiastic, kidnapper!

Honda obediently lay on the ground, waiting for the kidnappers to come and tie his hands and feet.

Jonouchi's face twitched stiffly, but he forced himself to remain calm: "No, it's just a model gun. What's there to be afraid of with a fake gun?"

With a blank expression, Lishid pulled a rocket launcher from his black robe and fired it at a nearby statue.

"Bang"

The marble statue was hit by a missile and shattered into pieces.

Even the castle dwellers obediently lay down.

Are you kidding me?

You've revealed the truth, so even I, the God of Gamblers, have to reason with you, right?

And so, Lishid returned home laden with his five newly acquired hostages.

......

"Hmph, well done, Li...cough cough cough...Lishid!"

"Cough cough, that way, cough cough cough, we can take down the nameless Pharaoh, cough cough cough, and that annoying Kagura Kiryu."

Malik was wrapped in a blanket, with a thermometer in his mouth and ice on his head. His dark skin had turned a reddish-black.

This is an abandoned warehouse near the dock.

Previously, Malik's yacht had a leak for some unknown reason.

Perhaps it was out of hatred for the Pharaoh, or more likely, it was out of a desire to avenge the many days spent adrift at sea.

With astonishing perseverance, Malik led several strong Gurus men to swim ashore in one night.

Lishid glanced at his master with some concern: "I've already locked him in the warehouse, and I've sent him lunch."

That's right. As evil fake card dealers, they not only carry guns and assault police officers, but they also frequently turn people into vegetative states while playing cards.

But they do provide meals!

Kind-hearted Lishid was worried that his group of burly men wouldn't cook well, and that Egyptian culinary skills wouldn't suit the hostages.

They even specially ordered Chinese food from a Chinese restaurant, a dish that people all over the world love.

A Yu-Gi-Oh! villain who always upholds morality in strange and unusual places.

"Hmph, that's fine. Just brainwash Jonouchi, and let's add his sister too. Let them team up with the Nameless Pharaoh and Kagura Kiryu."

"No matter which side loses, their bomb will explode. That way, even if the dueling skills are high, they definitely won't be able to bring themselves to kill each other because they are former comrades."

"Hehehe, I'm such a genius, cough cough cough cough cough!!!"

Malik was laughing when he suddenly started coughing violently, and Lishid quickly patted him on the back with concern.

Although Malik had a cold and fever, and his body ached all over after swimming ten miles in the sea, he was very happy.

But as the saying goes, excessive joy can lead to sorrow.

"Report! Report!"

"Lord Malik! Something's happened!"

Malik's anus tightened, and he was about to have a PTSD attack.

It was this black-clad Gurus who rushed over to report it, and then the ship started leaking.

Malik was forced to lead his men in a desperate struggle for survival in the sea.

Now, it's this same younger brother who's rushing over to report again.

Malik's heart skipped a beat, and he regretted not throwing him into the sea to drown.

But we've been through thick and thin together, and it took a lot of effort to rescue this guy. If he dies, it'll all be for nothing.

His expression was serious: "What is it?"

Gurus's henchman: "It's Seahorse Corporation! The enemy! The enemy has invaded!"

Malik: ...?

"Bang"

Malik only realized what was happening when a black-clad henchman crashed through the wall and burst in.

"What the hell is going on???"

……

Half an hour ago, Haima Automobile Co., Ltd.

Kaiba Keihei was leisurely sipping his sweet drink while recording the events unfolding in Duel City via satellite, in case anyone broke the rules.

Kaiba's president personally participated, but he did not use his privileges as the organizer.

Even though he already knew where the final venue was, he remained completely absorbed in pretending not to know, reaping the puzzle cards from the minor duelists.

"Oh? Mr. Kagura won again?"

Kaiba Keihei observed several characters he was very interested in.

"Wow, that's impressive. No wonder he's the duelist who defeated my brother."

He sighed a few times, quickly jotting down Kagura Kiryu's card game and the new deck he used, so that his brother could review it when he returned.

"Oh? Jonouchi won too? It was luck again, haha, I'll make a note of that."

Unlike his older brother, Keihei Kaiba actually really likes Jonouchi.

After all, when he and his brother were pulled into the strange game by the five giants, it was another game in which they provided assistance.

In the original story, Jonouchi was struck and nearly killed by Malik's Winged Dragon of Ra, and Keihei cried out in grief.

Not only did he do his best to help Jonouchi with his treatment, but he also used his status as Kaiba's brother to put pressure on doctors and various employees.

In his heart, the game and his friends are also his best friends.

"Huh? What's this?"

Kaiba Keihei discovered the anomaly and quickly adjusted the city's surveillance cameras, roughly reconstructing what had happened.

The final conclusion was reached.

They've been kidnapped!

This was outrageous! Kaiba Keihei immediately wanted to call his brother, but then he thought about his brother's attitude...

He tried to contact King Yu directly, but found that they were in the middle of a duel.

So he thought of another candidate.

His new companion is Kiryu Kagura, who defeated his brother and is also a dark magician!

He thought it was absolutely possible.

Kagura Kirito is handsome, good at playing cards, and most importantly, he seems to be a new member of the gaming group.

It was extremely urgent, and Kaima Guiping didn't dare to delay, immediately making a phone call:

"Hello, is this the security department?"

"Yes, it's Iso, it's me."

"Mobilize manpower! For what? To fight... oh no, to pick someone up for me!"

……

To be honest, Kagura Kiryu was a little dazed when the Haima helicopter hovered overhead.

But he quickly learned the details from Guiping, who was descending vertically from the helicopter.

What?! The thousand-year-old hostage has made a move again?

What?! Jonouchi and Honda are here too? What kind of superhero could possibly defeat these two earth-shattering warriors?

What? Submachine guns and RPGs? Those didn't die out.

The opponent has pulled out their true power. In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, duelists without extraordinary power really can't beat those who pull out guns.

In the early stages of DM, even in the mid-to-late stages, guns are no longer effective; they are merely cannon fodder used to fill vacancies.

Regardless, all five of our teammates have given away their lives, so we still need to try to save them.

Although Kagura Kiryu cannot deny that he joined the main characters' group with ulterior motives and some ulterior motives.

But he actually really likes these friends; at least they are all good people who genuinely care about their friends.

"Oh, a game?"

Kagura Kiryu made a phone call: "Yes, Jonouchi and Chicken Sauce have been kidnapped."

On one side, Yugi, who had just finished a duel and hadn't yet switched back to his usual self: ...

Malik! You're on your way to your death!

I want to play cards with you!

Honda, Ryuji Otogi: ...

What about us?

"Sister Wu, Xingzi is with my sister. Could you please go find them first?"

Under the concerned gaze of Mai the Peacock, Kiryu Kagura revealed a reassuring smile:

"I will bring all five of them back!"

……

"Hmph, mediocre talent..."

The president of Kaiba was the last to know the news.

"Interesting. Watching a stray dog's miserable state is quite a pastime."

"Isono, arrange a helicopter for me immediately!"

……

Now approaching you is:

The King of Nonsense, the Nameless Pharaoh, and the Dark Game.

Seto Kaiba, the reincarnation of a priest from three thousand years ago and a user of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

One of the three hostages of the millennium, Kaiba Keihei.

A trio of girls consisting of Yosaki Mio, Masaki Kyoko, and Kongzaku Mai.

The Kaiba Corporation Security Department, fully armed and numbering in the hundreds, is stronger than the entire police force of Domino City.

And then there's another character, just there to make up the numbers, but in the eyes of others, he's just as impressive as everyone else, known as the "Duel Tyrant," and whose origins are unknown—Kiryu Kagura.

Malik: ...

Can their base, with fewer than twenty people in total, really withstand so many top-tier players?

Although he was confident, he was taking things one step at a time, and when all of them were combined, he was actually quite overwhelmed.

"Lord Malik, leave this to me!"

Lishid's eyes were resolute: "I'll order my men to tie the hostages to the bombs and use a life-or-death duel to buy time!"

"Lishid..."

Malik's eyes glistened with tears, but the next second, the words spoken by his most loyal servant froze him in place.

"However, Lord Malik, there are no more ships here. You may have no choice but to swim away into the sea."

Malik Ishdar: ...
