To me it seems like, "With everything I've seen Luffy do, I shouldn't be surprised by similar feats from his crew".
Same here, same here. The fat guy's in, I tell ya.

I wonder what room Jinbe's going to stay in on the Sunny?
The aquarium bar might be a good place.:ninja:

that would be awesome and he could swim next to the ship and get some fish aswell
and I kind of feel like the chances of zeo went from small to insignificant wish to impossible :( but ill still hope ;)
Except, well…it's not very private in there, is it?
"Mornin', Jin-bo. How ya- WHOA! I mean, whoa, man... I'll just, uh, come back when you're ready..."

High-five for hilarious random innuendos.
While I already accepted the fact that Jinbe is going to join, and while he poses nicely alongside the crew, his personality still makes him stay apart from them. That bothers me to no end.
Jinbe will stay in the aquarium and make friends with the fish in there. He will move into the Men's Quarter when he realizes why his friends have been disappearing around dinner time every night.

Eventually the crew will wonder where Jinbe has gone.
10th temporary nakamate.
Ah, Jinbe, why are you such a tsundere-like candidate for crewmate? Maybe Oda's hinting at something now. Those folks at 2ch probably caught some sort of attention…

I know you're trying to tell us something, but I'm a bit confused.
and i had to google "tsundere" for understanding the first part.
Just playful mourning. ;P
I was joking about Oda going online and finding those threads on 2ch. He'd get the bejeezus scared out of him if he did. I've only scanned a few of them, but I already feel a bit safer here. It's a wilderness out there. shudder
I like the text pictures that often show up, though – the ones where letters/symbols come together to create a picture, I mean. Creative stuff. Mostly is random comments and long discussions like on manga forums everywhere.
Or maybe Oda's secretly acting tsundere… Can't decide whether Jinbe should join or not? lol

Don't worry, Chopper's already the crew's official emergency food supply.
I've now accepted the fact that Jinbe will be joining the Straw Hats (or at least it seems like he will). I've grown a bit of a liking to his character.
But can someone please explain to me why some people think Caribou of all people will join?
The same reason why people thought Perona would join - he has to be involved in the story for some reason. I don't get it, but whatever.
Well we'll find out any week now.

Mostly just people see a new character, like his design and attach to him. Then they use things about him as candidate worthy aspects("He's got a logia Devil Fruit, we NEED one of those). They think him reforming as a villain will make him join, and that since he is plot-important he MUST join.
It was a lot worse with Perona.

But with Perona, her personality wasn't extremely evil and murderous like Caribou's.
As far fetched as Perona joining was, she had better chances than Caribou does.
@Badass:

By worse I mean the minority that argued for her to join. While she did have a better chance, it was a small group of people that lied themselves into thinking a bizarre scenario would cause her to join. With Caribou it's an incredibly small, incredibly stupid minority.
You know whats funny,technically there were Nine Pirates vs the NFP in the plaza instead of 10,since Luffy went off to fight Hody and stop Noah. LOL I just barely noticed when I saw the group shot on pg 4 of the most recent chapter.
At this point comrades I think we're on the final lap to see who will join the crew and I still have this gut feeling there is something about Jinbe we still don't know. Where the heck is that Dojo?:ninja:
If we're wrong & Jinbe doesn't join,then we can all agree that Oda made it his business this arc to make Jinbe seem like a member of the crew for no apparent reason ,which I would find extremely odd & trolltastic.
@Badass:

didn't robby make that a banable offense to debate that because it was so stupid? I didn't know people were still on about that
oh yeah tell me when the next chapters of your comics come out!

Thank you very much, you just saved another confused mind.
I don't think Jinbe will join the crew. It's not that I don't want him to, I am trying to stay objective.
Now, I could analyze the way he has been presented in the manga, and the last few chapters (like "oh, he's in the line up on page 4 OMGOMGOMG") but doesn't Robin kinda cancel that out? Naah, I will argument by one somewhat important point IMO.
I think we have a Vivi-case here. Maybe he'll stay at FI to oh I dunno work on Tigers wish or whatever the result of this arc will be, and most of all stay with his own crew. Luffy might suggest it but I guess he'll be like "I'm sorry Luffy-san! I am sad to have to decline the offer!" aahhh guess. It isn't One Piece-ish for a captain or so to leave his living crew behind, in fact it seems that it can't be stressed enough. The people who have done this have a very negative "image" or what to call it. Even goddammit Buggy ended with his traitor-crew. And this is also why Caribou won't join. Or… Wait did they die?
Anyways, please, prove this point invalid if you will. It was just typed from the top of my head, so in that case I'll have to change the top of my head. That would be my hair. It's big and full of secrets.

Sounds like something I'd say. Sure, I'll enforce that if it comes up.

Franky and the Franky Family seem to go against that idea. Plus, if the remnants of the Fishman Pirates who were associated with Jinbei still considered themselves to be part of his crew, then where are they now? As I recall, some of them (particularly, Aladdin) used the pardon that Jinbei was given as an opportunity to quit piracy.

Actually I did think of mentioning the Franky Family because I thought about that it might cancel this out buuuuut in the end they wanted him to leave, mainly because of the bounty thing and mainly because "why-the-hell-not-let-him-be-happy". Same with Usopp somehow.
And you are totally right except, as far as I understood the remaining choose to stay with Jinbe and some followed him when they weren't allowed on the Island. I'm entering "WTH"-predictions here (meh, that's what we are doing anyways on this thread) but I think he may want to "bond" with the pirates that are left. Show them the righteous path or… Well, whatever will happen.
:P

I think you missed the point of Megadoomer's post ,Yes he was comparing the Sun Pirates to the Franky Family but the two situations are different ,the Sun Pirates split up & a group went went with Jinbe because his status as a Shichibukai granted them a pardon from Piracy,Namely Aladdin who is the ONLY member of Jinbe's faction to be named. So by this we confirm NONE of Jinbe's gang want to be Pirates.
Also let me point out something else out to you ,when we first met Jinbe in Impel Down the man was ready to die at Marineford ,now if he had such "Bond" with his supposed crew who need him to heed his every command,don't you think he would of been alittle more careful with his life? I mean if they really needed his captaincy.
Camie confirms 2 years ago they all left FI because Jinbe quit & no longer had the benefits of a pardon ,but 2 years later He's seen in the Sea Forest without a crew which is odd ,considering Pirate crews tend to stay close to their captain.
Besides all of this NONE of them have outstanding Bounties like Jinbe or any bounty for that matter only confirmed bounties for the Sun Pirates were Tiger ,Arlong & Jinbe so the only thing connecting them to the Suns is their Tattoo which can easily be covered,ask Hachi.
I don't really want Jinbei to join, but if he do he already got some epic fights that many members dont get after some time, I mean Robin have had less awesome fight moments than jinbei, and Jinbei already want to protect Luffy with his life, but I'd rather have someone else, not intruded yet, but that would aswell be very odd, I like jinbei but would not want him as a crewmember for some reason…
only time can show and before this arc started i was convinced that some fishmen would join and no one really interest me besides zeo(that's awesome on so many levvels) I dont know what I want exactly(besides zeo :P) but I guess oda has to suprice me

I don't understand why people keep saying this. He can't stay. http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/632/8 Middle panel. Plus, as others have said, his former crew is god knows where as some of them aren't even pirates anymore.

Huh… I see! Okay, in that case thanks for clearing that up, and sorry Megadoomer!
Also that bond thing was something I crazy-predicted could be triggered in this arc but... M'Yeah. There's another thread for that I guess. :D

Oh it's not that we overlook it. It's more like "FI changes, thus this rule MUST be overruled". For me at least. Just because!

I doubt they will overrule it, seeing as how desperately they want to be accepted by the rest of the world, harboring criminals would only go against this, I think.
Changing further into that direction will only make it less likely.
But yeah, go ahead and think whatever you want.

I don't often come into this thread, so I wouldn't know. But, I did see the idea of Caribou joining the crew being mentioned somewhere, so I figured someone here may have believed that and been able to explain the "logic" behind it.
oh yeah tell me when the next chapters of your comics come out!
It's been on a bit of a hiatus for a while. Though, I might start up again after I complete a portfolio for a college I'm applying to. But, this is a bit off topic, so If you have any further questions about this, feel free to PM or visitor message me.
It's possible to hide in FI. It's not like the WG have any presence there.
Plus Jinbe waited in the Ocean Forest and told the Royals about it…
I still have this gut feeling there is something about Jinbe we still don't know. Where the heck is that Dojo?:ninja:
He burned it down and ruthlessly murdered all the infants.
Chaotic Evil. Jinbe can't join.
@Miss:

Why are there infants at the dojo?
They run a daycare as well, it seems.:ninja:
Why don't people consider the fact that Jinbei would stand to gain more as a revolutionary than as a pirate

What difference does it make other than wasting your time considering that?
Does it look like he's going to become a revolutionary?

I am just saying if you look at the theory that he's goal might be to end the Fishman and Human hate, it means that he can do that by "destroying" the world government and the Revolutionaries are the only group in the one piece world that are known to be actively trying to change the status quo. IF this is Jinbei's goal or dream he doesn't stand to gain anything under a captain who doesn't care about the world government or their corruption(iirc luffy told Blueno this). So thats why am asking why no one has considered that apart from joining the SHs or staying at fishman Island, there is another logical choice he can make.(I also think the revolutionaries can help protect Fishman island)

As far as I can tell Robin doesn't want to change the world or its perception of how it works. She just wants to read history.

"I'm fed up of white people being racist aganist spanish/black/chinese people! oh wait! I have an idea! what if I destroy the USA? that way they will respect us a lot more! hurr hurr!"
What kind of logic is that?
Why are there infants at the dojo?
Why wouldn't there be? You teach younglings fishman karate, not adults. And guess who Jinbe goes for first in his bloodthirsty brutality .. ? That's right.
! What an awful thread.
I hope no one joins this arc, also I wonder if Big Mam will play any role at all in this arc.
@Superbear:

As always, I dearly value your opinion but must, with a heavy heart, differ in mine.
"I'm fed up of white people being racist aganist spanish/black/chinese people! oh wait! I have an idea! what if I destroy the USA? that way they will respect us a lot more! hurr hurr!"
What kind of logic is that?
There is no logic in your statement because you imply that the USA is in control of the world - Which is a political debate and not essential to this thread - so hopefully it stops there.
However the World Government IS in control of the One Piece world and therefore taking them down will lead to a new government body that is represented by the usurpers - Just like Donflamingo said and has been said throughout the ages - the winners get to write the history books.
So yes Jinbei would make a ton of sense as a revolutionary pre-TS, however post TS we had Nico Robin running from what could have been Revolutionaries there is a lot we don't know about them and what they are fighting for NOW as opposed to what we knew they were fighting for when they started.
I do like Jinbei and fully respect those who are behind him - but for me there is something off about him.
I know I am not alone there - but feelings alone do not make for a logical argument - its an emotional one and not one anyone can easily change a view on.

I agree about this: I cannot feel any "this man will join" about Jinbe.
However, logically I guess I also base my belief that he will not join on the following things. They probably can't be considered as arguments, but still they feel like indicators:
Again, remember this is not argumentation, because when I try to discuss logically with myself why Jinbe won't join, I end up defeating my arguments for either thing all the time. So these are my gut feelings why he won't join.
I think Jinbei might win over the guys who don't like him, if he goes something like, 'Luffy-kun, I know that you will become the next pirate king, so I want to come along for the ride and be there when you achieve your goal, plus I want to have some fun for once and not always worry about protecting others."

That doesn't sound like Jinbe.
One of the things that makes me hesitant into fully saying "Hell yeah, he's going to join" is his very very very strong sense of responsibility. It's a trademark of his, maybe even his quirk. Once he decides it's his duty to do some thing, he'll do it to the end, and I feel like the well-being of Fishman Island and its residents is his priority. Plus, just like he felt responsible about Arlong's actions, I suspect he feels responsible to the still-to-appear Sun Pirates that remained loyal to him.
So, unless for some reason he feels like it's his duty to go with the Strawhats, or if someone releases him from his responsibilities, I fear he has in-character motivations to not go.
And while I'm right now in the "Jinbe will join" camp, it's just because of all the panels in which he's posing around the crew. All signs come from "metaplot": covers, panels, merchandise, but there has been zero in-character developments pointing in that direction. Even his interation with the crew has him staying somewhat apart from them: check last chapter, where everyone is congratulating each other and being happy, and he is there with arms crossed, talking to himself "That's what I expected of those guys".
So, I'm kind of expecting that there will be some developments later that will make Jinbe join, but there's still a chance that he will just remain an ally.

Thats what I'm thinking, Neptune and the princes might decide to "release" Jinbei from responsibility of protecting fishman island, and they would maybe tell him to do what he wants to do and not what his sense of duty calls for him.
I don't think they have control over what Jinbei wants or does. We don't know what he wants, but if it's to protect Fishman Island, he'll stick around.
If not maybe he could join.
@Razzle:
I don't think they have control over what Jinbei wants or does. .
I know they don't have control over what he wants(although that does raise the question whether Jinbei would obey an order from his King), what I meant was they would assure him that Fishman island doesn't need HIS protection and he should not feel obligated to stay for them.
