User blog comment:The ASL Pirates/JInbe involvement/@comment-10543621-20150513010954

Another thing with this cover series that irked me was basically what the hell is Jinbe doing wasting time with random shit by himself? Where's the rest of the Sun Pirates? We've heard that Jinbe is leading the Sun pirates and they're supposed to be serving Big Mom in exchange for her protection of Fishmen island, but we basically haven't seen any of the Sun pirates at all. And here we have, Jinbe traipsing around doing random stuff.

As for the chances of Jinbe joining up, I personally see that as likely. I'm still anticipating for Oda to create a giant shift in the flow of the story with regards to the Strawhats. Dressrossa was completely set up for the Strawhats to have a dramatic increase in influene and number of allies. If the Strawhats end up forming alliances with different nations and crews, that would actually be the perfect time for Jinbe to join in the mix. Heck, we'll probably even have space for Wadatsumi.
