Jinbe’s Origins and Dream

Jinbe was born on Fish-Man Island, a place that has long suffered from discrimination and oppression by humans. As a young warrior, he joined the Neptune Army, serving the Ryugu Kingdom. However, he later became a member of the Sun Pirates, a crew founded by Fisher Tiger, a legendary fish-man who freed enslaved fish-men and fought for their rights.

After Fisher Tiger’s tragic death, Jinbe took over as captain of the Sun Pirates, inheriting the dream of uniting fish-men and humans in peace. However, to protect his people, he accepted an offer to become a Warlord of the Sea, believing it would help secure Fish-Man Island’s safety.
