"The defendant did not realize how much of a threat his actions would pose to the ship."

"This is just your speculation. There is no evidence pointing to this."

The office of Captain Malu of the Archangel was temporarily turned into a military court, with Malu as the presiding judge, Baji Lulu as the prosecutor, Kira as the defendant, and Mu as the defendant's lawyer.

However, looking at the two people arguing, Ma Ningze yawned.

If you ask him what he is here for, he is here to be a friend group.

Interestingly, the Earth Army’s military courts also follow the traditional method of the maritime law system.

It is also called the common law system, case law system, and unwritten law system.

Its biggest feature is that the judges in the court have discretion and have the rights of judges in the civil law system.

However, in Ma Ningze's opinion, the trial on the Archangel was nothing more than child's play, just like playing house with a child.

"So, taking civilians as hostages does violate Article 4 of the Golska Convention." Mu said while looking at the book.

"This operation is based on the wartime extradition measures of Special Case Project C." As the opposing debater...oh, the public prosecutor, Baji Lulu didn't even need to read any paper information to reply to Mu's half-heartedness.

"Ah?" Mu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly opened the notes at the back.

"Uncle, page 132, lower right corner." Ma Ningze yawned, "After the Copernicus massacre, the Atlantic Federation newly added special special action regulations for adjusters."

"Oh..." Mu also saw it, but he still reacted, "But judging from the result, we also escaped the threat, didn't we?"

"That's consequentialism!" Bakki Lulu retorted.

Ma Liu glanced at the dumb Kira and Ma Ningze behind him with a headache.

"Mr. Marr, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?" she asked.

"International Anti-Hostage Hostage Convention, Article 3." Ma Ningze said with his eyes closed.

“The State Party where a hostage incident occurs shall take all appropriate measures to improve the situation of the hostages, ensure their release, and facilitate their departure after their release.”

"Ah?" Mu flipped through the book again.

“Similarly, in accordance with Article 1, Article 4 of the New Brussels Convention, if the defendant does not reside in that Contracting State, the jurisdiction of the courts of each Contracting State shall, in addition to the provisions of Article 16, be vested in the respective laws of that State.

Trial." Ma Ningze said with a smile.

Mu is still flipping through the book.

"Also, the New Geneva Convention stipulates that non-combatants are not allowed to participate in combat operations. If captured, they will not enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war under the Geneva Convention. At the same time, it is a violation of international law for combatants to use civilians for combat operations."<

/p>

Mu speeds up turning the pages of the book.

"Using Miss Lux's blackmail as a tool to determine whether the two sides will go to war also violates the above rules."

"Kira Yamato-san is a temporary recruit from Captain Malu. But first of all, he is not a citizen of any country in the Earth Community, nor is he a combat soldier in the general sense."

"Secondly, although the territory of the Archangel belongs to the Atlantic Federation territory, the purpose of releasing the hostages is to protect the safety of the hostages."

"Third, Kira Yamato and the other two... 'common suspects' are citizens of other countries who were temporarily recruited into the army. They are not criminals and are not wanted. Therefore, they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the Earth-Moon Circle Military Court.

, the Atlantic Federal Court has no right to judge whether it is guilty of the act of 'releasing the hostages.'" Ma Ningze said confidently.

Mu put down his book and decided to start reading.

"Therefore, based on theory, the Atlantic Federation has no clear legal provisions and precedents, nor does it have the authority to judge Kira Yamato for citizens and soldiers. Regarding the guilt of the act of 'releasing the hostages', the remaining detailed rules need to be reviewed.

The judgment cannot be made until Orb." Maningze looked at Kira.

Bucky Lulu frowned.

Ma Ningze shrugged: "Of course, I know that Kira's 'leaving his post without authorization' and 'ignoring wartime orders and regulations' behavior cannot be escaped. I will not excuse him on this point."

"Ha! Yes! Yes, yes! That's it!" Mu pretended to close the book, then glanced at Ma Ningze in surprise, "Boy, that's awesome!"

"It's nothing, but because I'm adjusting..." Ma Ningze said, then realized something and glanced at Mu and Ma Liu, who looked strange.

Even Bucky Lulu’s tense face was slapped.

[Fuck! I’m afraid Kira, the unlucky kid, doesn’t know that I’m a natural person!] Ma Ningze himself couldn’t stand it any longer.

He doesn't think that Thor and Sai can keep their identities secret forever and not tell Miria. (This is what the protagonist thinks)

[After all, no matter what, they are still sixteen-year-old boys.] He thought.

Although everyone knows it, the drama still has to go on.

A drama actor who leaves the scene midway for any reason is definitely not a qualified drama actor.

"Kira-kun, what do you think?" Ma Liu looked at Ma Ningze and fell silent, then looked at Kira and asked sincerely, "Why did you make that decision at that time?"

"I didn't let her go because she became a hostage." Kira replied.

"Is it because of my girlfriend?" Mu winked at the side.

"Objection!" Baji Lulu objected.

Ma Liu sighed, and after stopping Mu's antics, asked again, "Is there anything else you want to add?"

"Actually..." Ma Ningze spoke again, "There is one thing that I think may be something that Second Lieutenant Baji Lulu has overlooked."

"Oh? Please tell me." Malu said.

"Have you ever thought about another possibility?" Ma Ningze looked at everyone and said calmly.

"What if, I mean what if, Kira did not send Miss Lux back today, and Zaft, on the premise that the flagship Vesalius led by Cruze did not return."

"If they think that we have no possibility of releasing Miss Lux." Ma Ningze stared into Bucky Lulu's eyes.

"And Miss Lux, as Junius 7's comfort group, had a dispute with the Earth Army beforehand, which indirectly led to her being picked up by the Archangel, who was also part of the Earth Army..."

"Is there a future that could happen? When they realize that they can't rescue Lux." Ma Ningze's calm eyes seemed to reveal that he saw the possibility of another timeline.

"When they unilaterally believed that the Earth Army captured Miss Lux using 'despicable means'..."

"In order to prevent the plant people's favorite person, Miss Lux was abducted by the 'evil Earth Army'..."

"Is it possible that they will choose, before the Archangel joins the Eighth Fleet..."

"At any cost..."

"Either rescue her or bury her..." Ma Ningze said this and stopped talking.

Baji Lulu frowned deeply, while Mu and Ma Liu also became serious.
