I doubt it is a marine still in position, there is no way Jinbe would work beside the one that killed Tiger, even if his agreement with the government was for the greater good (it would be just too much to take).

I believe Tiger gets heavily injured in a crossfire, or takes some hits in order to protect Otohime. It appears that Jinbe did not value the Queen that much 16 years ago, so she either did something heroic to change his mind or he simply respects Tiger's sacrifice (if he did).

But fact is, something drastic needs to happen in order to change Jinbe from a marine-choking fishman to the heroic and wise Ex-Shichibukai he is now. Him sitting at Otohimes grave is also a strong hint. Can't wait for the next chapter.
