Too late, Brook is our Slender Man. Probably taller than that guy too.

A random strong fishman we haven't seen yet who knows fishman karate will make better sense than Jinbei who is too well known and will probably be doing other things at Fishman Island or the New World.

It does not… I would severely disrupt the current story pacing. My feeling still tells me that no one will join this arc but seriously every reasoning against jimbei has been extremely aweful. The only valid reason that remains which hinders his joining is that he doesn't have a dream yet, although it is kind of implied what i could be.
That said, this is all assuming that this will be a typical 1 storyline on 1 island arc.
If Oda decides to tell 2 storylines on Fishman Island (for example one dealing with caribou) things might be different. But the chances of that are in my opinion very slim since it would be a break in style.
I'm still not giving up on Surume, he can be like laboon a crew mate that doesn't need to be on board, and the crew needs someone to guard their ship while they are on land in addition he can be useful against giants and in traveling along the calm belt.

Why the hell would the Straw Hats want to navigate through the calm belt?

to get to the other side maybe? there are several occasions where they past through a calm belt it would be easier for them to get through that if they have a sea king tag along.
What other side? They are sailing along the Grand Line until its end.

Makes sense.
On another note, I wonder if Bonney is the female Sabo?
What other side? They are sailing along the Grand Line until its end.
there are still islands like Amazon Lily and Rusukaina that are useful for them and its located in "The Calm Belt" also Impel down w/c is not supposed to be there cause they are supposed to sail along the "Grand Line till the end"?

they have their paddle system to travel calm belt

After Franky modified Sunny, they probably have more like a motor or rocket something on it.. but in a worst case scenario (paddles all broken or something) Surume will be handy.. and Luffy in the beginning of the arc wants it as a pet, He also took responsibility of taking care of Surume's brothers and sisters after hody threatened to kill them if Surume won't obey his commands.
The problem with keeping Surume is what he can do when the crew docks by an island and take a really long time to get back. He'd be bored out of his mind unless he's allowed to climb onto the island and possibly destroy some things in his path. Although having a huge kraken leap onto an island would be interesting to see, it'd make more sense for Surume to stay by FI and help out whatever needs to be fixed.
Now, I'm wondering what will happen to the NFP once it's dissolved. That's a lot of ex-criminals that are left loose. (After the beatings, I doubt they'll try to mess around, but where would they go?) Also, since Hyouzou did say he was only a mercenary, he probably won't stay with the other NFP… as to where he'll end up is unknown.
Jinbe, clean up at Gyoncorde Plaza! Then we'll decide…
Well I personally doubt that Surume becomes a nakama in the sense that Zoro, Nami etc etc are.
But he certainly is an ally. Which could present a chance that he and his brothers at the north pole become allies for luffy supporting him in a whitebeard vs marines style combat. Imagine 3 to 5 Krakens taking out Warships of the marines.

yep, since we aren't going to BACKTRACK, that means after we reach raftel we then meet up with Laboon
then laboon, sureme and who knows who else will accompany us to the big battle.

If that's supposed to be sarcastic… If such a battle will occur there will be means and with it I mean plot devices that would justify a reappearance of anyone useful. I certainly think that Krakens would be useful in a battle. As for Laboon his location and symbolic meaning to brook will mostly deny any kind of reunion outside of the twincapes.

its not sarcastic. i imagine some huge battle after raftel to fight this giant build up of the void history and the nobles. and what is directly AFTER raftel? the twin capes again and thus Laboon can meet up with brook and join the fight

I see sorry then for being oversensitive about it. Well I didn't consider that there might be bigger events after raftel. I always Imagined that the big fight will happen before it, since it seems to be in the interest of the World Government that no one reaches raftel to find One Piece, but yeah having the finale after raftel certainly makes sense if Oda abides to the optimal pacing curve.

It makes sense because through White Beard, Oda out right said the major battle will happen AFTER someone discovers One Piece.

Oh wait, nevermind. I thought he said that ODA said it. But yea, I guess it could happen.
And as I remember, quite a few even provided long AGOG-ish theory of why Akainu is a good candidate
Surely not as long winded as AGOG!? Still, that's hilarious, were any of them serious, or were they just trolls?
Somewhere, a black hippie ex-Marine with a sense of "Cool Justice" is summoning every last ounce of energy to try and break onto the scene and become "Luffy's Next Nakamate". Failing that, he will simply shrug as though to say "I'm cool with it", and return to singing the smoothest love song there ever was for the violent, cannon-wielding fishwoman of his dreams.
I can't help but picturing Miles Davis being the person you're talking about hahaha
Wait what ?

We might sidetrack though. Who says the Straw Hats won't leave the Grand Line for a bit?

Not to mention they will probably backtrack to marine hq before reaching raftel, I don't see the marines being able to muster the force make a wb war level battle anywhere else, except maybe MJ.
I know that was awkwardly worded but I am suggesting, as many already have, is that their will be a SH/ally versus WG battle at some point and the marines aren't just going to leave their main base unprotected, there are other pirates in the seas. Luffy will have to go to them for such a battle to happen.

They will find One Piece first then sail around to the WG HQ. White Beard said it.
My response to SH's backtracking to Marine HQ before Raftel / final conflict taking place before discovery of One Piece:
hyozou is someone I am watching close, I think there is alot more to him then we have seen, Sure he is a swordsman but his style is unique, and I would like to see his "Drunk" swordsmanship in action more. We also have not seen him since the princes where defeated(he was sleeping on a rock) He did not even bother to help Hody and gang.
Luffy being the judge of strength he is even admitted to his strength, He does not strike me as the evil in the shadows guy in this arc, after all from what we know he is just a simple mercenary, he has no Ill will toward anyone unless they are poor, or Noisy.
I like to think if we get a underwater Nakama in this arc he is in the running, even based on the very limited exposure we have seen. Jinebi to me seems to important to the story, and to fishman island to go off into the grand line again with luffy, his age is passed I feel(not in skill or anything like that) but even a veteran like Jinbei knows it is Luffys age.
Hyouzou vs Zoro
It is time for that piece of shit to get slice
a drunkard+junky become Strawhat's crew,yes indeed.
Jinbei will join… Now even more...

Though I still expect people going against him with crappy arguments.

Of course not, but it's further evidence. Oda can throw us off whenever he wants, but his chances just went higher.
Jinbe and Sanji teaming up. Doubters, prepare yourselves.
But I swear, if I see him do a combo move with someone in this battle, I won't be able to contain myself.
And now, I'm a ticking time bomb of joy.

Just to let you know, I kinda have warmed up to the idea of Jinbe joining. It's just that we saw him do so many things in the last 100 chapters that he will become somewhat stale by the time he joins.
It seems the wind isn't blowing east or west, but towards Jinbe joining.
On the flipside for Surume fans, I'm afraid I think his TKO puts a kabosh on his chances.
I just get the feeling that Jinbei will stay behind to protect Fishman Island, I mean the Princes aren't that tough at the moment…

OK that's just dumb. Franky was introduced in Ch 329 and didn't join until Ch 439. In roughly the same span of 100 chapters we know comparatively less about Jinbe than we knew about Franky. If he joins the crew he will do things that will make him shine just like everyone else.

That doesn't really make sense.
Fishman Island is already protected by Big Mom.
Besides Jinbe was absent from Fishman Island for the last two years, because he's still hunted by the Government. So unless this arc changes anything about this fact, there's no way Jinbe can just stay at Fishman Island anyways.

I had the same problem with Franky back then, but he did surprise me after all, so you have a point.

Not sure if that Government goes to Fishman Island.
The island being protected by Big Mom isn't really helping at the moment.
My my, even if Franky asks for a Giant Robo Emperor right there and then Jinbe docked as the right hand/ Some people will still find something to argue with that huh?
@Jumping:

It didn't seem to be an issue with White Beard. There is probably very little the Marines can do about it anyway since it borders the New World.

If the World Government wouldn't find Jinbei at Fishman Island why didn't he just stay there for the last two years ?
So, yeah Big Mom isn't at the island right now to deal with Hodi
but a) if she would hear that Hodi'd taken over Fishman Island she would probably just to go there and kick Hodi's ass
and b) Big Mom's protection is maynly there to scare pirates away from kidnapping mermaids and stuff, but since Hodi is a threat from within the Fishman Culture it's an entirely different case. Jinbe's goal is to get to a better relationship between Humans and Fishman, so that no future Arlongs or Hodis will be born. That's why he's trying to deal with Hodi himself or rather together with Luffy.
If Jinbe would still stay behind to "protect" the Island from future Arlongs and Hodis, it would completly screw up the purpose of this arc.
Oda is going to show us how Jinbe and Sanji match up now. Will this change the doubters? Maybe a few but I'm honestly not that hopeful.

Then why didn't he do that the previous two years?
Then why didn't he do that the previous two years?
Do we even know what he was doing in those two years?
He was waiting for Luffy in the Ocean Forest. He wasn't allowed in to Fishman Island because it would be bad for the kingdom to associate itself with a criminal of the World Government.
Him staying back to protect them from future Hody and Arlong's isn't a crazy idea - that's essentially what he's been trying to do. He underestimated Hody and the NFP though.
Jinbe staying behind could only mean the Prince's aren't ready to take up that position. All signs however are pointing to Jinbe joining the crew.
I'm still 50/50 on whether I want him to be.
