User blog comment:Ricizubi/Do you believe Jinbe is the next Straw-hat?/@comment-3075024-20110617185344

he is a protector of Fisherman Island from outside threats like pirates and kidnappers so he has to stay in Fisherman Island and serve then until end.......its would be soo cool if he joins Sh and i am sure that in the end of this arc Luffy will ask Jinbe to join but Jinbe will respectfully say no and explain his reason.
