Jimbei

Jimbeich.69 (ジンベエ, Jinbē?), nicknamed "First Son of the Sea" (海の最初の息子, Umi no Saisho no Musuko?), is a yakuza-esque whale shark fishman, and a former member of The Seven Warlords of the Sea.ch.528 Jimbei is a proud fishman with great pride and honor. Despite being proud, Jimbei appears to put his priorities and principles over his honor, and is not above retreating from an otherwise unfinished battle (even being shamed or openly mocked by an opponent) if it meant for the sake of the greater good. While he is a fishman with great emotional control, he is empathetic, and understanding of the pains of others, such as being brought to tears when Luffy breaks down emotionally in front of him after he has awoken from the Battle of Marineford. In exchange for the World Government granting him Warlord-status, Jimbei disbanded his pirate crew, the "Sunny Pirates" (who were formerly led by "Fisher Tiger" until he died), part of which became the Arlong Pirates.ch.69 Though the World Government knows him as a pirate-hating pirate, he has a weakness for Whitebeard and his men, due to Whitebeard's declaration that Fishman Island is his territory and thus under his protection, which scares off slave traders and pirates and brought peace to the area.ch.529 For refusing to raise a hand against Whitebeard, Jimbei was thrown into the world's greatest prison, Impel Down in Level 6, until he agrees to go to war against Whitebeard.ch.523 However, he remains adamant and eventually resigns his position.ch.557 Jimbei is a master of "Fishman Karate". His strikes are so strong, that he does not even need to make physical contact with an enemy as the very air will blow them away. Jimbei also displays being able to manipulate water as if it were a tangible cloth through Fishman Karate. Among fishmen, Jimbei has shown the unique ability to communicate with fish, even at a long distance. Jimbei's current bounty is 250,000,000 Berries. He was voiced by Daisuke Gōri in the Japanese version for two episodes until his death in 2010, after which he is replaced by Katsuhisa Hōki.
