I believe that Jinbe will join for several reasons: 1. He's shown his past and has been a tragic one, but on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say it's 6.5/10 sad, only because he only lost a loved one, Fisher Tiger and Otohime, and did feel some resentment and hatred from most of the humans he encountered in the crew (excepted Koala), he did also feel really guilty for what Arlong did to others in the EB and especially Nami. He said he was indepted to her for not hating him. 2. He's gotten along with some of the Straw Hats and none of them hate him about Arlong. 3. He has a sense of humor, being super shocked and to wanting a "name for the plan" theme. 4. He has his own fighting style, Fishman Karate and jujustu. 5. Has character development. 6. Has a dream, wanting peace between merfolk and humans, which is what he carries on for Tiger and Otohime, which was one of the reasons he joined the Shichibukia. 7. Has a bounty of possibly 400,000,000 (chapter 635). 8. more than enough for the new world. 9. he promised ace after he died he would look after Luffy, so he may keep this in his heart for a long time. 10. He kicks ass!!!

My negatives are: 1. He is (or was) captain of the Sun Pirates (till they dispersed 10 years ago when he joined the shichibukia for freeing privaleges for the slaves and pirates), but technically was the vice-captain till Tiger died. 2. He may be too strong since he may be stronger than Luffy, if he is then he can't join. 3. People all over the world may only see him as "the former Shichibukia" than just Jinbe, wondering why someone so strong became someone's subbordinant. 4. He may be too loyal to his island and may never leave because he has a desire to always protect his people. 5. If his own old crew members return again, they may be skeptical if he decides to leave them.

overall, I still believe Jinbe will join and make a great addition.
