That's just stupid. Clearly, Jinbe was way stronger than pre skip luffy and he still is probably stronger than post M3. The only reason he can't join yet is that he will upset the balance of power in the crew, rangin from the M3, to the middle strength fighters (Robin, Franky, & Brook) to the W3. It would just be weird to have someone who is equal to or stronger than the M3 join the crew. I still can't believe u said Jinbe was weaker than Pre skip luffy. Jinbe did in one page what it took luffy and co. an entire arc to do, defeat Gecko Moria.
