The airship continued to move on the endless sea, and the destination of their trip finally appeared ahead.
It was a man-made island, the entirety of which was made of steel. A towering iron tower stands on the island, standing like a lone giant among the wreckage and ruins of steel everywhere.
Alcatraz Island, that is the decisive place for their trip.
As mentioned before, Haima was originally a military manufacturing company, and its former chairman, Haima Gozaburo, even had the grand desire to "rule the world by arms technology".
At this time, the island in front of everyone was the product of Kaiba Gosaburo's ambition. It is a collection of the top technological weapons developed by Haima Company. There are rumors that the weapons on it are enough to destroy all mankind countless times.
Of course, that is also in the past tense.
Since Seto Kaiba took over the company, all that was left on this former island was only ruins.
Every bullet left by Gozaburo Kaiba has been arbitrarily destroyed by Seto Kaiba. Now that the Haima Company has undergone a complete transformation, this Devil's Island, which represents Gosaburo's ambition, has become a thing of the past.
Now Haima chooses to play cards on this island just to prove that he has surpassed everything that Gosaburo left behind.
He wants to gather the three phantom gods on this island, ascend to the throne of the duel king, and then use this as a starting point to create the world's top and best...
… a large chess and card center.
But of course his plans could not have gone so well.
You Yu looked out through the window of the dueling boat and saw the outline of Alcatraz Island appearing on the other side of the sea from a distance, and he was already prepared.
In fact, after traveling for so long, You Yu probably already had guesses about this world.
He doesn't feel like he's stepped into a game world written entirely of 0s and 1s now.
Not only because the world is too realistic for a game, but also because the game official has always been as they announced until the very late version of Link World—
—Even the official cannot intervene and predict any unfolding of this world.
You Yu speculates that this is more likely to be a parallel world of Yu-Gi-Oh, and the official game is only equivalent to building a bridge between reality and this parallel world, nothing more.
In the previous version 1.0 Link World, no player had the strength to make it to the quarterfinals of the Duel City, so Yu Yu was not completely clear about the next task flow from now on.
But if this is really the parallel world of Yu-Gi-Oh, then whether there are players involved or not, You Yu speculates that the plot that will unfold in the future should also be certain...
… sure enough.
The entire airship trembled suddenly without warning, as if a bus on a high-speed section had been stomped on the accelerator, and many unsuspecting passengers were thrown to the ground by inertia.
Yu Yu remembered that six-year-old Malik seemed to be posing on the open deck above and blowing his hair
It would be a lot of fun if Malik was thrown straight from the boat into the sea now...
"What's going on?" President Haima quickly came to the control room.
"No... I don't know!" The black suit sailing the boat was sweating profusely, "Someone is hacking into our system!"
"Invading our system? Impossible!" Haima waved, "If that's the case, then give me the manual operation!"
"... The system didn't respond!" the black suit said, "There is no induction signal from the island, we can't approach Alcatraz!"
"what?"
Haima, who has always been calm, frowned, unable to stop a terrifying thought from constantly popping up in his mind—
- Could it be that Gosaburo's undead is preventing us from landing on that island
The most calm people on the whole ship should be You Yu and the two players who have watched the animation.
Sure enough, as he expected, the important main storyline that should be in the animation must not be able to escape.
The airship's huge hanging screen was also hijacked, showing...
... President Haima
Well, to be precise, it is the president of Haima who looks like a good lady, but his face looks alike and his hairstyle is the same, but his hair color is very healthy and pure green.
The child looked like he was only ten years old, and when he showed up, he chuckled with a scheming look: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Seto."
At this time, the passengers such as the game have all come to the control room to inquire about the situation. But for You Yu, the next step is basically the same as the cutscenes CG, and there is nothing to see. Anyway, he knows all the information he should know.
The child who appeared on the screen was named Haima Naiya, the real son of Haima Gangzaburo.
Haima Naiya received a gifted education from a young age and was the heir to the original Haima Company. It's just that he suffered a car accident when he was a child, and Gosaburo tried his best to save his consciousness and download it into the computer used for military operations by Haima Company.
So to be precise, what exists in front of everyone is no longer the real Haima Naia, but the AI that preserves Naia's complete consciousness and memory.
It's just that the AI living in the virtual world has always believed that it is Naia herself. This time, he also appeared to compete with Seto Kaima, who usurped their family business, to prove that he was better than the other party. By the way, he took a body that can move in reality, and took the company back from Seto Kaiba.
Of course, all of the above are the goals of Noah.
As for the means to achieve the end...
… of course it’s still going to be a poker game.
What else? In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, what do you want if you don't play cards
As we all know, in this world, whether it is gods or demons, people or ghosts, even computer AI solves problems by playing cards.
Since the problem can be solved by playing cards, there is nothing to panic. Moreover, he also had a rough idea of which trip Naia would plan on next.
Next, Naiya will hijack the dueling boat to a hidden underwater military base, and use a set of sunset red card automatic Gatling that has been focusing on human body strokes for 30 years to force everyone to disembark.
To put it bluntly, Naiya has been alone in the virtual world for a long time, and he is so blue and thin that he has become addicted to poker, so he has spent a lot of time hijacking the world's best poker players to play poker with him.
Whoever dares to shirk and can't play poker will be shot down (although this may not work for many of them)...
Then he would unknowingly drag the consciousness of everyone who disembarked into the virtual world where he was, and then sent his only subordinate "Big Five" to attack.
The five giants are all high-level officials of Haima Company. They are Haima Company's head of acquisitions, the head of the personnel department, the chief lawyer, the director of the weapons factory, and the initial assistant beside Haima Seto.
These five people were originally generals who helped Seto Kaiba to gain real power. But then Haima snatched the blue-eyed white dragon that Grandpa Game had collected, causing the dark game to get angry.
So the dark game started the dark game and defeated the Kaiba Seto and punished him. After that, Kaima fell into a coma for a long time, and the company's stock fell into a landslide.
It was at that time that the Big Five decided to betray Haima and wanted to take Haima Company with their own hands. After this attempt failed, they tricked the hippocampus into accepting their challenge in the virtual game, and tried to lock the hippocampus' consciousness in the virtual world.
Originally, this plan has been successful, but unexpectedly, a Muto game was killed halfway. The game rushed into the virtual world and rescued the hippocampus, and by the way, the five giants were locked in the computer world and wandered forever...
…until the five of them meet Naia, who also lives in a virtual world.
So Haima's former personnel director, chief lawyer, weapons factory director and several others decided to seize this opportunity and make full use of their top expertise in various fields...
… play cards with the president.
