About Jinbei One Piece

"Knight of the Sea" Jinbe is a whale shark fish-man who is part of the Straw Hat Pirates as their helmsman, being the tenth member of the crew and the ninth to join.

He originally served as the second captain of the Sun Pirates after Fisher Tiger, and a former Shichibukai from 11 years ago until the Battle of Marineford two years ago. His dream is to fulfill his former captain Fisher Tiger's dying wish of coexistence and equality between humans and fish-men, and he continues to live his life in the hopes of seeing that dream's completion.

His name was first mentioned by Yosaku in the Arlong Park Arc when he was explaining about the Shichibukai, but he was not formally introduced until the Impel Down Arc. He renounced his Shichibukai title at the Marineford war, allying himself with the Whitebeard Pirates. After Whitebeard's death, his crew formed an alliance with Big Mom to protect Fish-Man Island. He befriended Monkey D. Luffy during the aforesaid war and later allied with him and his crew to prevent the New Fish-Man Pirates' coup d'état against the Neptune Royal Family of the Ryugu Kingdom. Luffy invited him to join the Straw Hats, but Jinbe held it off until he had severed ties with Big Mom. He would later do so during the Whole Cake Island Arc and officially become a Straw Hat member. After staying behind in Totto Land to protect his previous crew from Big Mom's wrath, Jinbe would return to the Straw Hat Pirates during the Wano Country Arc.

Jinbe's first bounty was 76,000,000. Eventually, it was raised to 250,000,000 and frozen at such value when Jinbe became one of the Shichibukai. After he resigned from the group, his bounty increased to 438,000,000.
