Chapter 234: This Time, This Is It
"Huh, is that all for your turn? I thought that (Maju Garzett) could keep performing."
"Hmph, don't get ahead of yourself. You only blocked one of my attacks." Chazz Princeton said, crossing his arms and looking at Hayato. "Don't tell me you can break through my (Maju Garzett)'s 4100 ATK and one-turn kill me in a single turn?"
"My turn, draw." Seeing the drawn card, Hayato gave Chazz Princeton a mysterious smile.
"I can't make any promises about that, so let's leave it to fate to decide this Duel."
Hayato revealed the card in his Hand, inserting it into his Duel Disk's Spell & Trap Zone and activated it. It was none other than the incredibly powerful card-drawing card he had obtained from Duke Devlin back then — (Destiny Draw)!
Chazz Princeton sneered, "Ridiculous, you actually chose to put such a gambling card in your Deck? I thought only a guy like Joey would put luck-based cards in his Deck."
Glancing at Joey, who was fuming on the sidelines, Hayato looked helplessly at Chazz Princeton. "I'm too lazy to explain the specific concept to you; it's not like you'd understand just by me telling you. In any case, this card, in my heart, is even more powerful than a super Level 12 monster."
"Then, I activate (Destiny Draw)'s effect." Hayato said, looking at the die appearing above his Field. "Roll a die. Draw cards from the top of your Deck equal to the die roll, then banish the same number of cards from the top of your Deck."
The die landed on the Field and spun, slowly coming to a halt after more than ten seconds, revealing the number 3!
"Ya☆ta☆ze!" Hayato happily drew three cards, then banished another three. "This kind of one-sided mass card draw is truly exhilarating."
"Tch, it's just three cards in your hand." Chazz Princeton seemed somewhat unimpressed.
Hayato glanced at the cards in his hand, a joyful expression unfurling on his face. "It seems the victor of this Duel has already been decided. There's no doubt that I am the winner."
"Field Spell Card (Ojama Country) activate! From my Hand, I send (Ojama Operation) to the Graveyard, and revive (Ojama King) from the Graveyard!"
"N-No!" Seeing the appearance of (Ojama Country) and the return of (Ojama King), Chazz Princeton understood the combo Hayato was using. "Because of (Ojama Country)'s effect, when an Ojama monster is on the Field, all monsters' ATK and DEF will be swapped?!"
Tristan, who was watching from the sidelines, also said in surprise, "(Ojama King), with 0 ATK and 3000 DEF, will instantly become a powerful monster with 3000 ATK and 0 DEF?"
"Isn't that as high as Kaiba's (Blue-Eyes White Dragon)? So strong!" Joey exclaimed. "Wait, if it's a (Blue-Eyes) monster, its ATK and DEF would also be swapped, meaning (Blue-Eyes)'s ATK would become 2500, which is still not as high as (Ojama King)'s!"
"Why are you so obsessed with Kaiba, you idiot!" Téa retorted, turning her gaze back to the Field. "(Maju Garzett)'s ATK and DEF will also change because of this, right? Its DEF seems to be..."
Yugi said excitedly, "Although it can drastically increase its ATK by tributing monsters, (Maju Garzett) only has 0 DEF. After its ATK and DEF are swapped, it becomes 3000 ATK against 0 ATK!"
"Tch, what a pain!" Chazz Princeton's brow furrowed as he watched the surroundings transform due to the activation of the Field Spell Card (Ojama Country). He feigned disdain, "Hmph, it's just a mere 3000 damage. I'll counterattack next turn!"
But then, Hayato activated a Set Card and said, "What a shame, Shoji, you probably won't get that chance."
"That card is!"
Chazz Princeton recognized the card before Hayato could even name it. After all, a significant portion of his Life Points was deducted by that very card during their first Duel. "(Ojama Trio)?!"
"You're probably not unfamiliar with this card, are you? On your Field, three (Ojama Token)s will be special summoned in Defense Position, and while they cannot be Tributed, each one destroyed will inflict 300 damage to you."
At this moment, Hayato played the last card in his Hand. "Spell Card, (Ojama Muscle) activate! It's over, Chazz, this is the final blow of this Duel!"
"I target one face-up (Ojama King) on the Field, then destroy all other monsters with 'Ojama' in their name on the Field, except that (Ojama King)."
"W-What?! No!" Chazz Princeton whipped his head around to look at his Field. (Ojama Yellow) and the others were rushing onto his Field, carrying beach chairs and parasols. But before they could even lie down to rest, a beam of lightning struck them, turning them into three piles of black ash amidst their screams.
And as their temporary owner, Chazz Princeton consequently took effect damage three times.
[Shoji: 4000 → 3700 → 3400 → 3100 LP]
The lightning, however, did not dissipate after annihilating the three (Ojama Token)s. Instead, to Chazz Princeton's bewildered expression, it floated towards Hayato's (Ojama King) on the Field and merged into its body?
"For every 'Ojama' monster destroyed by (Ojama Muscle)'s effect, (Ojama King) gains 1000 ATK!" Hayato watched (Ojama King) flexing its muscles in a bodybuilder pose, trying to mentally block out the garish sight.
"In total, (Ojama King)'s ATK will increase by 3000 points, adding to its original 3000 points..."
[(Ojama King)] [0/3000 → 3000/0 → 6000/0]
[(Maju Garzett)] [4100/0 → 0/4100]
"6000 ATK!?!" Chazz Princeton gasped. He truly hadn't expected Hayato's Dueling prowess to have grown so immense, to the point where he could summon a monster with such terrifying ATK!
"Battle Phase! Charge, (Ojama King), Meatball Scallion Chicken!"
With a crouch and a jump, (Ojama King)'s body, propelled by its powerful muscles, leaped high above (Maju Garzett)'s head. The (Maju Garzett), already tormented by the troublesome Ojama monsters within (Ojama Country), barely had time to look up before (Ojama King) pinned it directly beneath with a crushing press.
[Shoji: 3100 LP → 0]
"Resilient!" "Invincible!" "Strongest!"
When the duel ended, the (Ojama Trio), unwilling to have only appeared once during the entire duel's Fusion Summon, sprang out from the Graveyard. They struck a strange pose in front of (Ojama King), as if the "Aiya-ya-ya" soundtrack was playing. However, as the duel concluded, their virtual projection images quickly vanished, turning back into card spirits.
Hayato glanced at the system's settlement. He only received the baseline 500 DP. For Hayato, who had just spent all his savings, it was better than nothing.
