Jinbe

Standing as the tallest of the Straw Hats, Jinbe is a hulking blue whale shark fish-man built like a sumo wrestler. His face calls to mind the Japanese oni, framed by yellow eyebrows and sideburns of a demon's shape, set off by a bulbous nose and an upward-jutting lower lip. A scar in the form of a lightning bolt runs from his left sideburn up over that eye, and two cone-shaped lower fangs jut from a heavy underbite. His black hair is two-toned, parted by a pair of long stripes that run from the roots over his brow and down his back; in the manga those stripes are colored gold, while the anime renders them white. He sports a topknot and a greenish tuft on his chin.

Webbing joins his fingers and toes as with any fish-man, and his pale, pinkish gills sit between neck and shoulders. His usual dress is a coral kimono patterned in alternating black and white squares, cinched at the waist with a purple obi worn like a ribbon, beneath a pale red coat later exchanged for a black one after the timeskip. The Sun Pirates emblem is tattooed at the center of his chest. He changes kimono often across his travels: a hooded Hawaiian shirt during the Egghead arc, and Viking-style garb crafted by Gerd in Elbaph, complete with a fur cloak and shoulder braids.

Jinbe is guided above all by the wish his late captain Fisher Tiger voiced in dying, a future in which fish-men and humans live as equals. That ideal anchors a deeply honorable and loyal nature, the reason behind his title of Knight of the Sea. His sense of duty runs so deep that he lingered in Totto Land to shield the Sun Pirates from the wrath of Big Mom before taking his place among the Straw Hats.

Jinbe ranks as the tenth member of the Straw Hat crew, and the ninth person to come aboard, signing on during the Wano Country Arc. He once belonged to the Sun Pirates and rose to become their second captain after Fisher Tiger's death, later accepting a seat among the Seven Warlords, a post he gave up amid the Summit War of Marineford. Vegapunk would afterward produce a Seraphim clone of him, S-Shark, to stand in for the disbanded Warlords.

Around the time of that war he grew close to Monkey D. Luffy; two years afterward the pair joined forces to stop the New Fish-Man Pirates from seizing the Ryugu Kingdom from the Neptune royal family. Though invited aboard, he waited to accept until he had cut his ties with Big Mom in the Whole Cake Island Arc. The bounty on him began at 76,000,000 Berries with the Sun Pirates, climbed to 250,000,000 once he led them, was reinstated at 438,000,000 after he stepped down as a Warlord, and reached 1,100,000,000 in the wake of the Raid on Onigashima.
