It's possible Jinbe will join the SH. Before the 2 yr timeskip, he told luffy how he wanted to see him again in the FI and he even stayed by luffy's side through out the marineford war and most of the post war until dark king came. So I think the bond between them is solid. But at the same time, i'm thinking it might be a cliche to have jinbe join. It's very fuzzy this speculation... i guess we just have to wait it out.
