Celina takes Yuya and the others to board a pirate ship owned by a pirate named Captain Cutter. This turns out to be a trap. As Celina captures Zuzu and leaves on a Duel Academy helicopter, Cutter challenges Yuya to a duel. With Cutter's monster preventing Yuya from summoning any of his own, Yuya is forced to rely on Action Cards. Yuya is either getting hindered by Cutter or stumbling upon self-damaging cards. Just as Yuya is knocked off the ship, he is saved by Crow, who arrives alongside Declan, Riley, Moon Shadow, and Sora. Joining the duel himself, Sora manages to overcome Cutter's restrictions and summons Frightfur Kraken to defeat Captain Cutter. Yuya, Sora, and the others do not believe Celina would capture Zuzu of her own free will. Yuya and the others continue onwards to Duel Academy.
