It’s anyone’s guess why the world-renown Haly’s Circus decides to stop in Gotham, the city with the highest clown-trauma per capita in the country. It’s an even bigger question why Bruce Wayne would decide this is an appropriate outing for his sons.
[AKA, Reverse Robins go to the circus.]

At the question (or maybe just Nami, a reprieve from talking to Zoro—who he's still vaguely afraid of) Usopp perks up. “Kind of! I mean, yeah—the big Sun God in the Trench. But also the sea gods themselves, and the missing Moon God—it’s a whole thing,” he says, waving his hands as Nami crosses the deck, book tucked under her arm. Usopp trails off again but she gestures him onward and plops next to Zoro, dangling her feet over the open water, too.
“Go on,” she says.
He stares at them both before letting out a strangled kind of, “Do you actually want to know?”
Zoro and Nami exchange a look. “We have a keen interest in the local wildlife,” Zoro drawls, and Nami snorts out a laugh. The sound startles Usopp, who might be one of the most skittish people Zoro has ever met—second only to Koby, maybe.
Nami elbows Zoro in the side, trying (and failing) to hide her smile as he flips her the middle finger in return. “Local legends, then,” she amends.

“I didn’t die,” Jing Yuan says, and his voice is hoarse. Hoarser than she’s ever heard it before. “I can’t die, Fu-qing. Not like this. I never said goodbye to you, did I?”
When the battle is over, Jing Yuan comes back, and then he passes out in Fu Xuan's arms.

The thought almost makes up for the fact that now he has dirt on his chest.
