Jinbe is a whale shark fish-man and a powerful master of Fish-Man Karate. His dream is to fulfill his former captain Fisher Tiger's dying wish of coexistence and equality between humans and fish-men. He was a member of the Sun Pirates, eventually becoming its second captain after the death of their original captain, Tiger. He eventually became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, though he resigned during the Summit War of Marineford.

Prior to and amidst said war, Jinbe befriended Monkey D. Luffy, and two years later allied with him and his crew to prevent the New Fish-Man Pirates' coup d'état against the Ryugu Kingdom's Neptune Royal Family. Luffy thereafter invited him to join the Straw Hat Pirates, but Jinbe held it off until severing ties with Big Mom during the Whole Cake Island Arc. After staying behind in Totto Land to protect the Sun Pirates from Big Mom's wrath, Jinbe returned to the Straw Hats during the Wano Country Arc, officially announcing his status as a member of the crew.

He first gained a bounty of 76,000,000 due to him being a member of the Sun Pirates. It was later increased to 250,000,000 after Jinbe became the new captain of the Sun Pirates before it was frozen after he joined the Seven Warlords. Upon resigning his position as a Warlord at the Summit War of Marineford, his bounty was reinstated at 438,000,000. Following the Raid on Onigashima, his bounty was increased to 1,100,000,000.

## Personality

Jinbe is a fish-man of great pride and honor. He is known to the World Government as a pirate-hating pirate, possibly due to the actions of the pirates in Fish-Man Island, kidnapping fish-men and merfolk to sell them as slaves. However, he has great respect for Whitebeard and his crew as he sees them as a completely different story. Because of what Whitebeard had done for his homeland, Fish-Man Island, he understands the damage a war between the World Government and Whitebeard would cause. He knows that places like his home, which are protected by simply being part of Whitebeard's territory, would suffer the most should Whitebeard lose the war. Also, despite originally hating pirates, he did not spare a second thought of becoming one in order to aid his brethren Fisher Tiger.

Because of his honor, Jinbe is very respectful and considerate to the people he serves under. When asked to join the Straw Hat Pirates, Jinbe declined due to still being affiliated with Big Mom and could only join after he left her crew. Jinbe also desired consent from his crew, the Sun Pirates, in order to join the Straw Hats, showing Jinbe is very considering towards his now former crew members' feelings. However, despite wishing to settle things with Big Mom with honor and respect, after Jinbe saw her Roulette, he correctly deduced that it was rigged to kill him and his crew and chose to silently revolt instead. However, once Jinbe confronted Big Mom again, he personally declared his intentions to leave her crew in front of her guests and crew members to ensure it was official.

### Honor

Despite his pride, Jinbe appears to put his priorities and principles over his honor and is not above retreating from an otherwise unfinished battle (despite being shamed or openly mocked by an opponent) if it was for the sake of the greater good. He also does not seem to hesitate from encouraging others to do likewise for a similar cause, as seen when he pleaded and managed to convince Luffy to prioritize Ace's safety first over avenging his brother's loss against Blackbeard. Jinbe has also displayed great humility regarding his personal strength and status, a trait most unique among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. This was made apparent by his willingness to even lose his status for his refusal to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates.

Also, unlike his former crewmate Arlong, the fact that he is willing to aid a human (Whitebeard) as well as team up with others separates him from the other fish-men. Whereas Arlong would never dream of such a thing (even Nami's recruitment into his crew was near slavery), Jinbe proves to be able to treat some humans as equals and also acknowledge when he owes one a debt. While he is a fish-man with great emotional control, he is empathetic and understanding of the pains of others, such as being brought to tears when Luffy broke down from losing his brother in front of him after he had awoken from the battle at Marineford. Jinbe is also capable of crying aloud when someone dear to him is lost, such as Ace and Tiger.

### Humor

Although Jinbe is normally calm and collected most of the time, he does have a humorous side. When he saw Shirahoshi outside of her room, he was immediately shocked wondering why she was outside and then became even more shocked seeing an injured Hachi. When Luffy paid little attention to Jinbe's story about what happened during the last two years, Jinbe bemoaned to the rest of the crew commenting on what it is like having Luffy as a captain. He is also not above laughing when something amuses him, as when Judge was yelling at Luffy about all the perceived "flaws" Sanji has that Luffy mistook as compliments, Jinbe busted into laughter, commenting he was going to have fun with his new crew.

### Intelligence

His personality in the past dramatically contrasts with the apparently tame temper in the present. In a flashback showing a battle between the Sun Pirates and Marines, Jinbe was shown to exhibit excessive brutality to enemies that even made Arlong ask him to stop. He seems to be a no-nonsense person and appears to be quite passive at times. Though he did not agree with Arlong's thinking that humans always looked down on fish-men, he noticed that they always seemed to be afraid of them. After asking a former human slave named Koala why that is, she said it was because they did not know much about them. Jinbe stated that the unknown was scary and remembered Otohime talking about how fish-men do not know anything about humans.

Jinbe also adamantly believes that true strength should come from hard work and experience, as shown when he reprimanded Gecko Moria for implanting the shadows of others into himself in order to increase his strength, stating that all he really did was get bigger, and when he referred to the power that Hody Jones received from strength-enhancing pills as "fake power". He can, however, see potential within those who use such cheap methods, as when he told Moria to grow stronger after defeating him.

Due to his years as both a pirate and a soldier, Jinbe is a very perceptive and strategic man. He was able to deduce that when they tried to escape Impel Down, Magellan had all the Marine ships stationed outside the prison, knowing the prisoners would need a ship in order to escape. This also makes Jinbe very well-aware of the danger around him, as when Big Mom would allow him to leave her crew so long as he spun her Roulette, Jinbe correctly deduced it was rigged to kill him no matter where he landed and instead chose to revolt instead and ally with Capone Bege to ensure his and his allies' survival.

Originally, Jinbe was doubtful of Otohime's ideals, thinking that they did not mean anything. He even openly stated that he did not care about her petition. However, after listening to Fisher Tiger's speech about peace, Jinbe grew supportive of Otohime and even admitted about the trouble the Sun Pirates caused her and joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea to support her cause. He was even willing to hide the body of Otohime's supposed assassin to prevent all her hard work from being destroyed.

His life experiences and interactions with people as an orphan, soldier, and pirate gave Jinbe incredible wisdom, having become a supporter of Otohime's ideology in order to promote racial harmony, which most have considered impossible. When Ace died protecting Luffy, Jinbe was one of the few to truly empathize and understand Luffy's pain, having faced a similar past experience with his sworn brother Tiger's death. Thus, Jinbe had managed to successfully convince Luffy to stop lamenting his inability to save Ace by reminding him of his bonds with his crewmates. Jinbe is also the first to notice the potential menace posed by Hody Jones and his executives, due to understanding how their upbringing being influenced by Arlong's racism and their prejudice towards humans are far greater and more extreme than Arlong's due to the fact they are willing to attack fellow fish-men for interacting with humans. When Luffy decided to stop Hody's plans, Jinbe wanted Luffy to do so not as a violent pirate but as a selfless hero in order to regain the Fish-man Island's trust in humanity. Out of sympathy, Jinbe also convinced Shirahoshi not to regret her decision to not expose Hody's murder of her mother to honor Otohime's memory. From what he vaguely learned from Praline about how her mother executed all her past subordinates who tried to leave her crew, Jinbe correctly deduced that Big Mom would never allow him and his crew to leave the Big Mom Pirates alive. When Pedro sacrificed himself to allow the Sanji Retrieval Team to escape from Big Mom, Jinbe convinced Brook, Chopper, and Carrot to put aside their mourning and focused on escaping Totto Land to honor Pedro's resolve.

### Kindness and Selflessness

Jinbe shares the same perspective as Vivi on responsibilities. When Luffy asked Jinbe to join the Straw Hats, Jinbe refused, saying that there are still things that he has to do. Jinbe's decision also resembles Vivi's when he also asked Luffy to let him join his crew, if they meet again in the future. According to Neptune, Jinbe tends to take on too much responsibility and should learn not to.

Jinbe states that he does not really care who the boss is of his crew despite his leadership skills so long as they can protect the crew, as shown when he allowed the Sun Pirates to work under Big Mom for their protection. Also, he only seems to follow his leader as long as they earn his respect and worth as a captain, as seen with Tiger and Luffy.

While having a conversation with Ace in Impel Down, Jinbe says he does not lose hope even when a situation says otherwise believing a miracle will happen. This eventually became true when Luffy reached his cell to rescue Ace (although he arrived shortly after Ace was escorted to Marineford). Jinbe states he will not protect a stranger if they do not earn his respect.

As stated by his friend Hack, Jinbe's dream is for there to be friendship between humans and fish-men.

Jinbe is also completely selfless, having lived his entire life helping his fellow fish-men and merfolk in any way he can. This earned him immense respect from other fish-men such as the members of the Sun Pirates. Despite Jinbe's desire to join the Straw Hats, Jinbe personally asked the Sun Pirates' permission to join, showing Jinbe cares for the opinion of his crew before himself. Part of the reason why Jinbe refused to spin Big Mom's roulette was due to the fact that the lives of his own crewmates would also be sacrificed in addition to his own. Furthermore, despite having the chance to escape Totto Land, Jinbe chose to stay behind with his former crew to ensure they all escape, unwilling to leave any of them behind.

## Relationships

### Straw Hat Pirates

#### Monkey D. Luffy

He was quite impressed by Luffy's recklessness of breaking into Impel Down in an attempt to save just one life (Ace's), a feat that not even Whitebeard had done. This makes him one of the very few pirates outside of Whitebeard's crew whom Jinbe respects. His respect for Luffy grew as they made their way out of Impel Down to save Ace in Marineford. Even over the two-year time skip, Jinbe has been continuously talking about the young Straw Hat captain to the other Sun Pirates, without even realizing it. He also seems to feel gratitude and guilt for Luffy's defeat of Arlong. Upon learning that Luffy is the Revolutionary Dragon's son, Jinbe did not show much surprise. During the battle of Marineford, Jinbe was shown to be just as dedicated to Luffy's well-being and safety as he was to Ace's. The reason is shown in a flashback where Ace asks Jinbe to watch over Luffy if he were to die, and Jinbe responds by stating he will only protect those he cares for. He is later seen saving Luffy from Akainu's magma attack and escaping with him from Marineford thanks to Trafalgar Law. After Luffy woke up from his coma two weeks later on Amazon Lily, Jinbe was looking after him and saved him from his self-pity and self-inflicting injuries by telling him about the people he can still protect. This makes Luffy realize he has not lost everything, and that he still has his crew.

As for Luffy himself, Jinbe's respect seems to be reciprocated, since the Straw Hat captain was seen explaining to his crewmates that he only managed to come back alive from the great war two years ago due to the fish-man's protection prior to the time-skip. Also, while Jinbe began his talk about how he set Arlong into East Blue, Luffy pretty much stayed quiet and allowed Jinbe to explain himself before jumping to conclusions (although he fell asleep early into the story). Luffy even agreed to Jinbe's plan of making Luffy a hero even though Luffy does not want to be a hero only because he is Jinbe's friend. After the battle in Gyoncorde Plaza, Jinbe offers to donate his blood to Luffy, saying that the law of Fish-Man Island which forbid fish-men to donate blood to human does not affect him because he is a pirate. A conscious Luffy then asks Jinbe to join his crew. While he turned down the offer, he said that once he completed his unfinished task, he would meet Luffy again and then Luffy could ask him again.

Later, in the Whole Cake Island Arc, Jinbe would later save Luffy and Nami from being tortured by Charlotte Opera and free them from their captivity. When questioned about Big Mom, he stated that he decided to resolve his unfinished business with her by rebelling against her and aiding the Straw Hat Pirates. He also managed to get Luffy to work alongside Capone Bege and the Fire Tank Pirates, even though he was feeling aggressive towards them for attempting to kill his friend, Pekoms. As such, Jinbe is one of the few people who can talk reason into Luffy, even making him forgo his usual recklessness and stick to an actual plan, something none of Luffy's other crew members have been capable of doing.

During the wedding ceremony, Jinbe personally told Big Mom of his official resignation from her crew to join the Straw Hats, which left Big Mom furious and Luffy overjoyed at his declaration. When his former crew was in danger, Jinbe told the Straw Hats that he had to defend them. Before he disembarked, Luffy made him promise not to die so he would join the rest of the crew at Wano. Jinbe agreed to his new captain's terms and promised to return to their side as he joined his former crew in battle. He ultimately kept his promise arriving in Wano in the nick of time to save the alliance from one of the Beasts Pirate's battleships, and was warmly welcomed into the crew by Luffy.

When he learned what Luffy wanted to accomplish after he became the Pirate King, Jinbe was shocked but then burst out into laughter saying he willingly joined a crew with such a troublesome captain, so it was his problem now, showing his support in Luffy's dream.

Prior to joining the crew, Jinbe politely addressed Luffy as "Luffy-Kun" out of respect. By the time he reunited with him on Whole Cake Island, he started to call him Luffy, having grown casual enough around him to call him that.

#### Roronoa Zoro

Although they have not interacted as much, Jinbe gets along with Zoro, who also told Jinbe to finish his business first before joining, showing he is considerate towards his honor. He is still in awe seeing Zoro and Sanji bickering nonstop, especially during fighting, curious of the reason of their bicker.

#### Usopp

At first, Usopp was afraid of Jinbe due to him being Arlong's former crew member and for being a former Warlord but changed his opinion after learning he was friends with Luffy. After getting to know him, Usopp came to be amazed by Jinbe's strength and attitude. Like with Luffy, he encouraged him to join the crew while calling him Boss Jinbe.

#### Sanji

While Sanji in particular chastised Jinbe for allowing Arlong to destroy Nami's childhood (with Hatchan agreeing), he had put aside his resentment after Nami relieved Jinbe of any blame as he was not at fault. Both Jinbe and Sanji worked together to defeat the New Fish-Man Pirates and were shown to be a great team as they took down Wadatsumi. Afterwards, Sanji seems to have given up his resentment, as he later showed his consent to have Jinbe join the crew and agreed to let him finish his business till he joins. He is surprisingly curious about Zoro and Sanji bickering during their fight with the New Fishman Pirates.

They reunited during the Whole Cake Island Arc with Jinbe assisting Sanji in escaping his arranged wedding with Pudding and helping save his family from the Big Mom Pirates. After the crew had a chance to escape with the assistance of the Sun Pirates, Sanji wished Jinbe well as they continued onward as he assists his former crew. When Jinbe arrived just in time for the Raid on Onigashima Sanji welcomed to the crew him with open arms like everyone else.

After Kaido and Big Mom's downfall, Sanji cursed Jinbe for being the third highest within the Straw Hat Pirates. Jinbe asked Sanji of what's wrong.

#### Tony Tony Chopper

Chopper is shown to be very amazed at Jinbe's strength and was one of the first to encourage Jinbe to join the Straw Hats, commenting that having a former Warlord would be a great asset to them. Like Zoro, Chopper considers Jinbe to be very cool, having cried in joy seeing how Jinbe defied Big Mom.

#### Franky

Jinbe is on good terms with Franky, as when he revealed his past and history of the fish-men's discrimination, Franky cried calling Jinbe a real man. Following Jinbe's return to the Straw Hats at Wano Country, Franky heard from Nami and Chopper of Jinbe's skills as a helmsman and is impressed that the crew finally has a helmsman that could bring out the Thousand Sunny's full potential.

During the raid on Onigashima, Jinbe trusted Franky to draw Hatcha outside the Skull Dome to prevent Hatcha from attacking the Samurai.

#### Brook

Brook, along with the rest of the crew besides Luffy, met Jinbe first on Fish-Man Island. When Jinbe had retracted his attempt to leave the Big Mom Pirates, Brook thought something was wrong as he thought the Jinbe he came to know is not a coward as the Totto Land News made him out to be and was more understanding of Jinbe's decision than the scorning citizens of Totto Land.

Jinbe is shown to be respectful towards Brook and does not seem bothered by his skeletal appearance (though he was shocked to see him pop open his skull). After seeing that Brook was able to get all the copies of Big Mom's Poneglyphs, Jinbe was amazed and praised Brook for his efforts. Jinbe later praised him again after he destroyed Mother Carmel's photo. As they were escaping Whole Cake Island, Jinbe lifted Brook and everyone's spirits after Pedro's sacrifice by reminding them how Pedro's actions gave them a chance to escape, causing Brook to apologize for his rude behavior to him beforehand.

When Jinbe told the Sanji Retrieval Team to press forward after Pedro sacrificed himself, Brook was at first infuriated that Jinbe was acting so insensitively to a comrade's death before being told that it was what Pedro would have wanted.

### Sun Pirates

As the second captain of the Sun Pirates, Jinbe is deeply respected by his crewmates due to his magnanimous nature and benevolence. Jinbe prioritized his crewmates' wellbeing above all else, having joined the Warlords to allow some of the members who were formerly slaves to return home to reunite with their families. The main reason he refused to spin Big Mom's roulette is due to the safety of his crewmates being sacrificed rather than fear of his own life. The Sun Pirates deeply reciprocate Jinbe's dedication with absolute loyalty and was perfectly willing to become enemies with Big Mom, an immensely dangerous Emperor, to help Jinbe break free from the Big Mom Pirates to join the Straw Hats. When Jinbe and the Straw Hats were cornered by the Big Mom Pirates fleet, they assisted Jinbe by ambushing the Big Mom Pirates. Though the crew made it clear that they would gladly give their all to allow Jinbe and his new crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, to escape Totto Land alive, Jinbe's deep bond with them made it impossible for him to just leave them behind, and thus he stayed to fight with them to ensure everyone escapes.

However, not the entirety of the Sun Pirates respected Jinbe, as Arlong and Macro departed to reform their own groups after Jinbe's induction into the Seven Warlords, with Arlong looking down on Jinbe's sympathy for humanity. The two groups made it clear that they only followed the Sun Pirates for Tiger's sake.

#### Fisher Tiger

Jinbe was extremely close friends and also sworn brothers with Fisher Tiger. They grew up together in the Fish-Man District and Jinbe saw Tiger as family, evidenced by his habit of calling him big brother Tai. When Tiger attacked Mary Geoise and became an enemy of the World Government, Jinbe resigned from the Neptune Army and joined Tiger's crew to assist him without a second thought. Jinbe respected Tiger and his leadership a great deal. He was always thoughtful and receptive towards Tiger's opinions. He also seemed to care a lot about Tiger's well-being and was not above showing brutality to the Marines who threatened his captain's life. It's been shown that Fisher Tiger confided to Jinbe about the "demons" that dwell in his own heart. When Tiger was fatally wounded and refused a blood transfusion due to it belonging to a human, Jinbe begged, to no avail, for Tiger to live and cried when Tiger died.

#### Arlong

While Jinbe and Arlong grew up together in an orphanage in the Fish-Man District, Jinbe, as a soldier of the Neptune Army, showed hostility towards Arlong when he was harassing the Fish-Man Island citizens, calling him scum and even trash, indicating that Jinbe frowned upon Arlong's distasteful attitude. Upon Jinbe's entrance into the ranks of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Sun Pirates were split into smaller factions. Jinbe felt guilty about releasing Arlong into the East Blue, showing that he objected to Arlong's abusive treatment towards humans. Jinbe states that it was difficult for him to tell Luffy about his connection to Arlong, but after meeting Luffy again after two years, Jinbe musters the strength to reveal that he was the one who allowed the Arlong Pirates to run loose in the East Blue, and was quite shocked to hear that one of Luffy's crewmates suffered personally under Arlong's rule. Despite this, Jinbe still cares for Arlong despite his distasteful attitude.

#### Hatchan

Jinbe worried over the well-being of Hatchan, upon seeing the octopus fish-man heavily injured. However, it is apparent that Jinbe and Hatchan had not been in touch with each other since Jinbe was unaware that Hatchan escaped imprisonment before meeting him in the Sea Forest. Like Hatchan, Jinbe also carries the guilt of the devastation the Arlong Pirates caused in the East Blue because he allowed them to reside there, as well as the knowledge of Hody Jones' true nature, where despite their similarities, Hody is in fact far more dangerous than Arlong.

### Friends and Allies

#### Edward Newgate

Jinbe has a high respect for Whitebeard. Whitebeard claimed Fish-Man Island as his territory and, in doing so, saved it from the World Government and other pirate attacks. For this, Jinbe has expressed many times that he owes a great deal of gratitude to the Emperor and refused to participate in the war against Whitebeard, even if it meant losing his Warlord title and being imprisoned in Impel Down. Over the years, Jinbe's respect has grown to the point where he will readily declare himself as an adversary to anyone or anything with ill intent upon the Emperor's life, which is why he immediately engaged in battle against Ace on their first encounter, since Ace was out to assassinate Whitebeard at that time.

As for Whitebeard himself, the Emperor appears to have developed a sense of tolerance towards Jinbe, despite the fish-man's Warlord status (Jinbe has even implied that he visits Whitebeard and his crew from time to time).

#### Portgas D. Ace

Jinbe and Ace were once enemies (since the latter wanted to kill Whitebeard), and nearly killed each other in a fight that lasted five days. Despite this, the two respected each other deeply and Jinbe was determined to help Ace's brother Luffy rescue him. Upon witnessing Ace's death at the hands of Admiral Akainu, Jinbe was fully prepared to give up his life in revenge and to buy even the smallest amount of time. He also mourned over Ace's death and even shed tears when telling Luffy that Ace was dead.

#### Boa Hancock

According to Hannyabal, despite the title of Warlord bestowed upon them, Jinbe had never personally met Boa Hancock prior to her visiting him and Ace at Impel Down. He was rather displeased with her at first, thinking she came to mock Ace, and that he distrusted her when she told them that Luffy was in the prison to save Ace. It is unknown what he thinks of her after realizing that she told the truth and, when in the heat of battle, she attacked Commodore Smoker to protect Luffy and openly stated that Luffy is her beloved. It seems that their relationship now is bordering neutral to friendly, as she allowed him to set foot on Amazon Lily as an exception, where no men, aside from Monkey D. Luffy and Silvers Rayleigh, were allowed before.

Humorously, when Jinbe meets her Seraphim clone S-Snake on Egghead and she helped guide him and his crew to escape from CP0, he thanked her and called her nicer than the Hancock he's familiar with, as well as noting that she shares Hancock's affection towards Luffy.

#### Silvers Rayleigh

Jinbe also seems to have developed a friendship with the Dark King. At first, Jinbe was surprised when he met Rayleigh in Amazon Lily. They cooperated in stealing a marine ship, circling around Marineford, and ringing the Ox Bell. Jinbe may have a good impression of Rayleigh, due to the Dark King's friendship with Hatchan.

#### Seia

Seia and Jinbe hold each other in the highest regard and share a relationship of mutual respect, with Jinbe acting as an advisor to Seia, whilst Seia acknowledges his wisdom. Jinbe is amazed by Seia's tenacity, strength, and kind-heartedness, and Seia is impressed with his talents as a fighter and helmsman. The two share a great admiration for each other, as Jinbe came to highly respect Seia as a member of royalty and his incredible determination on the battlefield showing no fear despite some of the strongest individuals in the world being present. Jinbe possesses the unique ability to talk sense into Seia and to get him to understand the precarious situation he finds himself in. Seia respects Jinbe's counsel and tries to take in some of his reasoning before he acts. Jinbe has a high amount of admiration for Seia and will try to protect and save him whenever he can. Seia reciprocates the respect Jinbe has for him and talked positively of him to his close ally's.

#### Trafalgar D. Water Law

Trafalgar Law rescued Jinbe and Luffy from the Summit War of Marineford while also healing their injuries even though Law had no obligation to do so. Once recovered, Jinbe thanked Law for his assistance.

### Enemies

#### World Government and Marines

Jinbe was an enemy of the Marines and the World Government when he was with the Sun Pirates until he was accepted into the Seven Warlords of the Sea. As a Warlord, Jinbe and his entire crew were given a pardon for Fisher Tiger's attack against the World Nobles and the former slaves in the crew were free to return to Fish-Man Island. Jinbe forfeited his position for his refusal to assist in the war against the Whitebeard Pirates and was incarcerated in Level 6 of Impel Down. He escaped from Impel Down and waged war against Marineford in order to prevent Ace's death, which ended in failure.

But by siding with Luffy and the Whitebeard Pirates instead of with the Marines during the Summit War of Marineford, Jinbe once again became a willing enemy of both the Marines and the World Government. Sengoku was greatly distressed by Jinbe's choice and some Marines such as Akainu and Brandnew refer to Jinbe as a traitor. The Five Elders commented that Jinbe's renouncement of his Warlord title was regretful. After the war, he returned to Marineford and helped Luffy ring the Ox Bell.

Jinbe is also scornful of the World Nobles and their continued practice of slavery despite the prohibition allegedly established by the World Government. He demonstrated this by asking Robin to liberate the human pirates enslaved by the New Fish-Man Pirates and commented that watching Hody emulating the Celestial Dragons was sickening.

Fleet Admiral Sakazuki perceives Jinbe as a traitor after his resignation from the Seven Warlords and allying himself with Luffy. Although he was more interested in taking Luffy's life, he showed absolutely no mercy to Jinbe on the battlefield and attempted to kill him numerous times while Jinbe was protecting Luffy. Nonetheless, Jinbe is perfectly aware of how dangerous Sakazuki is, and wasted no time in warning the Straw Hats about how ruthless the Marines have become under his command.

When Jinbe arrived at Wano, Law was shocked to hear him officially joining the Straw Hat Pirates.

#### Hody Jones

Hody also considers that Jinbe and the faction of the Sun Pirates that follow him are an annoyance. Even though Jinbe had no idea that Hody was the one who actually killed Otohime (until Hody revealed it), he seems to be the only one outside the Fish-Man District to be aware of Hody's dark nature since he had been keeping tabs on Hody while he was plotting something in the Fish-Man District. During the confrontation at Gyoncorde Plaza, Hody states that he hates Jinbe the most for not being an enemy of humans especially after the death of Fisher Tiger. By assisting the very humans who defeated Arlong, the Straw Hat Pirates, Hody considers Jinbe to be lower than Neptune.

#### Charlotte Linlin

After Whitebeard's death, the remnants of the Sun Pirates, including Jinbe, would come to work under Big Mom, although she primarily let them do as they pleased. However, Jinbe is not loyal to her as he is thinking of cutting ties with Big Mom due to Luffy's invitation to join the Straw Hat Pirates, but he worries that her anger will spill to Fish-Man Island. As his crew and the townsfolk of Whole Cake Island suspected, Linlin did not take his request to depart her crew very well. Though she'll "allow" him to quit, she demands a heavy physical sacrifice in return and brought a roulette which will decide what he loses. Knowing that the roulette was rigged to ensure the deaths of himself and his crew, Jinbe took back his request to leave her crew.

However, Jinbe ultimately betrayed the Emperor by defeating Charlotte Opera as well as assisting Luffy and Nami in escaping their captivity and caused a rebellion against the Big Mom Pirates. Later on, Jinbe convinced Luffy to form an alliance with the Fire Tank Pirates in order to overthrow Big Mom at the Tea Party. During the wedding, Jinbe officially declared to Big Mom that he was leaving the Big Mom Pirates in order to join the Straw Hats. In response, Big Mom tried to take away his lifespan, but her power had no effect on him due to him showing no fear towards her which he explained was because he was joining the crew of the future Pirate King. Jinbe then returned his sakazuki to her as a way to signify his departure from her crew. Further enraged by his defiance, Big Mom then resorted to brute force.

When they later met again at Onigashima, Big Mom swore revenge against Jinbe for his previous actions of devastating her fleet prior to his departure from Totto Land, a challenge that Jinbe accepted.

#### Big Mom Pirates

Jinbe and his crew allied with Big Mom following the death of Whitebeard to protect Fish-Man Island. However, Jinbe was never loyal to the crew and wanted to leave their services and join the Straw Hat Pirates. When preparing to leave her crew, Jinbe wanted to leave honorably but ultimately saw that leaving would mean death.

Jinbe later rebelled against crew by attacking and knocking out Charlotte Opera at the Prisoner Library before assisting Luffy and Nami in escaping from their captivity. While assisting the Sanji Retrieval Team, Jinbe was admonished by Charlotte Brûlée for betrayal, but he ignored her words.

At the wedding, Jinbe openly revealed his treachery in front of the majority of the crew by freeing Luffy from Katakuri's grasp and personally told Big Mom about his leaving her services as they were surprised and angered by his defiance as well as his lack of fear towards their captain. During the battle with the Big Mom Pirates, Jinbe used his knowledge of the crew's abilities to help his allies.

After retreating into Bege's fortress, the Big Mom Pirates surrounded Jinbe and his allies with some promising to ensure he does not leave the island alive.
