In a way this chapter pretty much confirms that Jinbe will be part of the SHs sooner or later and that the whole crew would gadly take him in with open arms (hell I say they already consider Jinbe as one of them), so I fail to see why all the Jinbe fans are crying instead of saying Hell Yeah! or something.

Jinbe's refusing is something expected as Luffy is usually turned down in one way or another when he tells someone to join his crew.
