I think there mighht be a sentimental reason behind jimbei not wanting luufy to fihgt Hodi...Hodi might be misguided or blinded by hatred towards humans due to some past incidence but would have been an ideal fishman otherwise...and Arlong was a big deal for fishmen..Remember even Jimbei wanted to talk to Luffy about that during the war...Arlong must have been bearer of hope for a lot of fishmen..I think the story behind the arlong pirates, fishman pirates and new fishman pirates once revealed will throw more light on this...Maybe it will turn out that nobody is the bad guy...just people influenced by circumstances.
