Description
Jimbei, renowned as the "Knight of the Sea" and "First Son of the Sea," is a whale shark fish-man serving as the helmsman for the Straw Hat Pirates. His history encompasses significant roles within multiple pirate crews and key world events.
Born 46 years ago in the Ryugu Kingdom's Fish-Man District, Jimbei grew up in an orphanage with Arlong and Fisher Tiger. He trained intensely at the Fish-Man Karate Dojo, achieving a black belt in his youth. Approximately fifteen years before the current era, he served as a Neptune Army soldier before resigning to join the Sun Pirates following Fisher Tiger's attack on Mary Geoise and subsequent designation as a World Government enemy. As a Sun Pirate, Jimbei upheld Tiger's principle of non-lethality, even after witnessing human atrocities like the Marine ambush that killed Tiger. Jimbei succeeded Tiger as captain and later accepted an invitation to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, using the position to champion human-fish-man coexistence. This act secured Arlong's release, but their clashing ideals led to a violent split.
Jimbei's Warlord status ended when he refused to combat the Whitebeard Pirates during the Summit War of Marineford, resulting in his imprisonment within Impel Down. There, he shared a cell with Portgas D. Ace and later allied with Ace's brother, Monkey D. Luffy during the prison break. Jimbei fought beside Luffy at Marineford, protecting him throughout the conflict and fulfilling a promise to Ace. Post-war, he aided Luffy's recovery and pledged to join his crew after settling obligations to Big Mom. Jimbei had formed an alliance with Big Mom to safeguard Fish-Man Island but ultimately severed ties, confronting her directly to swear loyalty to Luffy. He officially became the tenth member and helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates during the Wano Country Arc.
In "One Piece Film Red," Jimbei appears fulfilling his role as the Straw Hats' helmsman.
Jimbei embodies honor, humility, and selflessness, prioritizing justice and benevolence, which earns him deep respect from fish-men and humans. Despite past brutality during early Sun Pirates conflicts, he became a voice of restraint and wisdom, frequently mediating disputes and advising allies. His strategic skill is demonstrated in actions like deducing Big Mom's rigged roulette and planning escapes. Jimbei values hard-earned strength over artificial power and is driven by Fisher Tiger's dying wish for human-fish-man equality. This dream motivates his actions, including joining the Straw Hats to support Luffy's ascent as Pirate King, believing it will advance coexistence.
Physically, Jimbei is a large, blue-skinned fish-man with a stocky build, standing 301 cm tall. He features distinctive yellow eyebrows, a lightning-shaped scar over his left eye, and webbed hands and feet. His attire often includes traditional Japanese clothing, though he adapts it to different arcs, such as a yellow kimono in Whole Cake Island and a Viking-style outfit in Elbaph. The Sun Pirates' tattoo is prominently displayed on his chest.
Jimbei's combat expertise centers on Fish-Man Karate and Fish-Man Jujutsu, enabling him to manipulate water and strike opponents indirectly. His bounty history reflects his notoriety: starting at 76,000,000 Berries with the Sun Pirates, freezing at 250,000,000 Berries as a Warlord, and rising to 1,100,000,000 Berries after the Raid on Onigashima.
