Luffy didnt found the chance to make him his nakama...He met him in Impel Down when Luffy didnt have a crew..His mind was at saving Ace and only Ace..No time to think about Nakamas..Only in the end when he failed at saving Ace but he didnt have a chance to ask him.....Then Jinbe asked Luffy to meet him in Fishman Island...He fits perfectly..!!
