Jinbe

Jinbe is a fictional character in the One Piece manga and anime series created by Eiichiro Oda. He is a fish-man from Fish-Man Island and formerly captain of the Sun Pirates. Jinbe is a master of Fish-Man Karate, a martial art that allows him to manipulate water to augment his attacks and grant him considerable power in and out of the sea.

Characterized by a calm, principled demeanor, Jinbe often serves as a mediator and voice of reason among allies. He has a strong sense of duty and a long-standing commitment to protecting those who cannot defend themselves. He is also known for his strategic insight and willingness to make personal sacrifices for the greater good.

Jinbe is a former Warlord of the Sea (Shichibukai), a status he held prior to stepping away from such formal ties to the World Government. He later joined the Straw Hat Pirates as a loyal ally, contributing his experience as a pirate captain and diplomat to the crew’s efforts in large-scale conflicts and peacekeeping efforts.

In the story, Jinbe’s backstory emphasizes his goal of achieving coexistence between humans and fish-men and his dedication to defending his friends and his people. In combat, he blends martial arts with water-based techniques, making him a versatile fighter in both sea and land battles.

Jinbe appears across One Piece media, including the manga, anime adaptations, and related publications, and is recognized for his principled leadership, endurance, and commitment to justice.
