@Refii:
I'm talking about their status quo, it will no longer be the monster trio, it will be a quartet since he is clearly more powerful than Franky or Robin.
It would upset the balance of the three, in terms of the three admirals, in terms of "power levels" (although I am against this sort of storytelling).
As other have said, Jinbe would be a mix of something between Zoro and Sanji, that when in water challenges even Luffy's power ceiling.
That is based of nothing. How do you know he would be weaker than Zoro and stronger on Sanji even on land?
And to your admiral stuff… OK let us say Akainu is FA and we will get a 3rd new admiral... That is making 4 "admirals" once again cuz we all know taht Luffy will fight Akainu.
But seriously... the Monster trio has much more room to improve cuz of their age and they could be easily at Jinbei's ON LAND level now... Like I said most of the fights are on land and Jinbei himself said that he is much more limited on it.
In water is another story. I doubt anyone of the mosnter trio could beat him now.
People are looking to much to the status and the not fully developed character of Jinbei
Yeah he is an EX-Shichibukai… So wha! Luffy is at least as famous now after wrecking so much shit and being the son of Dragon... I pointed this already out. Zoro had a bigger name in the East Blue as well and even Arlong knew who he is but had no clue of Luffy.
Same for his character... Zoro started to get lost and be more easy after the joining. The competition with Sanji started at Arlong Park and the getting lost qurik became much more common later on. Same for Nami or Robin... Their characters started to shine after Arlong Park and EL.
This could happen now with Jinbei. It was already stated by several members here… You call him bland and all and he has no quriks... When should Oda show this? During a freaking war where even Luffy, Garp and Ace hadn't their quirks? After the war you saw him more "easy" with Luffy.
There is much more going on between Luffy and Jinbei than between others. He has also a history with Fisher Tiger, a history with the queen, a history with Ace, a history with Arlong, which could be interesting with Nami and finally a history with Hodi, one of the major villians of this arc
But no… people claim some random other characters just ebcause they find him bland or boring
