Jinbe

Jinbei (ジンベエ) is the second captain of the Sunny Pirates, and became a Shichibukai 8 years ago.
 * The subject of this article is sometimes called Jimbei.

Powers and Abilities
As the second and current captain of the Sunny Pirates along with the fact of being among the Shichibukai ranks (albeit currently at risk of losing said position), Jinbei is presumed to be a Fishman pirate of immense power, possibly one that goes well beyond other Fishmen. While the extent of his abilities has yet to be seen, Sengoku himself commented about how the Fishman's great power would be a mighty asset for the marines in the upcoming battle against the Whitebeard Pirates.

He and Arlong were once said to be equals, though whether it regards to their strength or status is yet unknown.

He is one of the few people to be able to take a "baptizing" in boiling water in Impel Down without flinching, which is considered an impressive feat.

Past
Jinbei was the most recent leader of the Sunny Pirates, taking over a legacy begun by Fishman pirate Fisher Tiger. When Jinbei joined the Shichibukai, the group split into pieces, such as the one Arlong led out of the Grand Line in search for easier targets. His former bounty before being a Shichibukai was 250,000,000

Current Events
At this time, Jinbei is currently imprisoned in Impel Down, the only member of the Shichibukai who has chosen not to follow with the World Government on their summons on facing the Whitebeard Pirates. He apparently has decided to fight the Marines and is prepared to lose his status as a Shichibukai.

Trivia

 * Jinbei is speculated to be a Whale Shark Fishman, as 甚平鮫 jinbei-zame means "whale shark" in Japanese.
 * Although Jinbei is the second Shichibukai mentioned, as of yet, he is the only unrevealed member of the group. A silhouette of him was shown recently and depicts him as a wide-bodied Fishman with what appears to be wild, wavy hair.
 * After his inital image in chapter 523, at the JUMP Festa 2009 Oda decided to a show a preview of Jinbei and drew a rough sketch of what he looked like.
