User blog comment:The ASL Pirates/When Will the Next SH Join?/@comment-10543621-20150601091612

To be honest, as much as I love Jinbe joining, the one problem I've always had with him joining the main SH crew is that he'll basically upset the balance of power. Essentially, the moment Jinbe joins, we can no longer consider the monster trio as the top 3 fighters of the SH crew. Jinbe is AT LEAST on par with Luffy, if not outright stronger. I really can't see Jinbe as being regarded to be inferior to the monster trio.

Then again, having someone like Jinbe join is exactly the boost the SHs need. I still think Jinbe's role if he does fight under the banner of SHs would be somewhat at the side. Like an allied crew, or an official crewmember that isn't gonna stick around with them all the way.

Personally, I still feel that Oda is going to revamp the way the SH crew works after Dressrossa. He simply has to with the amount of new allies Luffy will gain. I'm sure the main crew will still journey on Sunny-go as per normal, but I think all these influx of characters need to be addressed. There are at least 2 crews that are more or less confirmed going to be wanting to tag along the SHs somehow. These are namely Barto club and the Happou navy. I'm more interested to see how Oda deals with that.

The SHs need a major MAJOR boost in crew strength and influence. Luffy declared that he wants to defeat Big Mom and claim Fishmen island as his territory. If he's gonna start claiming territories, there's no way he can do that without anyone actually protecting the island. You know, kinda like how Scotch was on an island owned by Kaido.
