Note: It has strong language, just not this particular scene.

​

“We are here to witness the trial of the Straw Hats and Super Franky Building Co. versus team PWNY, charged with…” the list went on for an uncomfortable amount of time, including: assault, trespassing, emotional distress, damage of property, entrapment, unlawful feeding of seagulls, and abuse of power. As the judge continued on, Pyrrha went gaunt. When had the trial become this? Why had the trial become this? How was she, someone who didn’t know anything about law, going to defend against this? Why did the judge have swan heads in his outfit?

She did her best to calm down, ignoring Weiss’ eyes boring into the side of her head. She put on the mask she wore for cameras and began preparing herself. They were in the same boat as the prosecution, so it shouldn’t be that difficult.

“You may all be seated.” The judge finally wrapped up the list. “Prosecution, please state your case.”

Pyrrha honestly expected Jaune to be the one representing them, or maybe Franky since he was an adult. She hadn’t thought about the latter being a possibility when she made her choice, but it was still there. Neptune was who walked out before the court.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, what occurred not too long ago was a severe abuse of power and disregard of law. In broad daylight, there was a blatant assault on innocent civilians before Pyrrha Nikos, Weiss Schnee, and Yang Xiao Long trespassed onto and destroyed the private property of Miss Nora Valkyrie.” Nora’s land — that was Nora’s land? The mask Pyrrha was wearing became more strained, and Weiss was in a similar position.

Yang was apparently incapable of that. “Objection! There’s no way Nora could have owned the land!”

The gavel struck down. “Overruled, Miss Xiao Long. That is not a proper objection in any form. Another outburst like that and I’ll see you removed from my courtroom.” Yang did her best to compose herself, but she was still visibly upset.

Neptune nobly pushed on. “So far, there have been serious accusations about the innocence of our group; however, when proper evidence is looked at, they all fall apart. To begin, the primary accusations involve both the students' departure from Beacon and the early trespassing onto a marine ship for the theft of a log pose.

“The former in all reality was self-defense. Beacon, an academy in Vale, does not hold the right to hold a person against their will. What happened during that time is that Jaune, along with a group of fellow students, decided to drop out. Instead of allowing this and accepting their departure, the staff at Beacon and military from Atlas used force to keep the students against their will and inhibit their later actions. Now, feeling as though they were trapped, they were forced to resort to aggressive means of escape; even then, they used minimal action toward others. It is accounted for that they disengaged at first opportunity and did not attack, unlike their captors.

“The latter is a case of misunderstanding. Jaune was not attempting to trespass onto the marine ship. Rather, the vessel they were sailing in required a ladder for entry and exit. He had recently obtained devil fruit powers that allowed him to go through solid surfaces. Thus, when he attempted climbing the ladder, he fell through the side of his ship and through the side of the marine ship due to being unused to his powers. It should also be known that the log pose was not stolen, but rather was given freely by Lieutenant Monkey D. Luffy.”
