I doubt Jinbei will join the crew until we can see Zoro and Sanji are stronger than him. I'd bet that's after Sanji does something badass with the Big Mom and Vinsmoke situation and Zoro does something badass with Wano.

It did come at the very start of the chapter, which is comic-speak for 'we know this isn't a surprise, so let's just get it out the way so we can move on to something more interesting'.

I like how he has a couple casual chest bandages after fighting on Zou for a week straight then immediately heading out to cut off a couple warships containing the former Fleet Admiral, an Admiral, and a reasonably strong Vice Admiral. That would be impressive for a Yonkou to do. This guy is a loving monster. Really hammers home why Doflamingo was afraid of even upsetting Kaidou. This poo poo is getting real.

Agree with this disagree. Naruto at least had several good arcs before it turned to poo poo.

I always thought that the "saving Rukia" SS arc was great and pretty much peak Shonen. On the other side, Bleach became utter poo poo the second that arc ended so...

Naruto was basically poo poo after the timeskip which is about the same amount of chapters. Plus it didn't start getting bad until the middle of HM.

naruto was Ok whenever sauske was gone. but kishimoto's real problem is that he had a bad case of dragonballZ syndrome where everything has to keep escalating in danger and power only instead of simple beams he decided to do a series with a lot of complex abilities.

Yeah but Jack isn't even a Yonkou yet, that's the scary part. Well we got a taste of a Yonkou's power when Whiteboard took on the Marines, that was already crazy.

There was like a full year of chapters between the end of Soul Society and Orihime being kidnapped. The only relevant thing was some training for ichigo and The Bald guy getting his Bankai. (and I guess the reveal about Ichigo's Dad, but I don't like how they handled it.)

Jimbei has a connection to Big Mom, so I imagine we'll get him teaming up with Luffy again when he crashes the wedding.

I KINDA DOUBT THAT!
I just want Jinbei to be at the wedding saying to his crew "after this wedding Big Mom will be in a good mood so I can ask if we can leave her crew and I can go join my good friend Luffy so hopefully nothing happens that puts her in a bad mood"

Cue Luffy entering in a way that destroys all the wedding sweets or something.

I thought the Jinbei cover arc was about him already getting out from Big Mom and heading off to join up with the Straw Hats. Jinbei is probably going to be part of the wedding crashing group though. Zoro, Robin, Nami and Franky all are tied to either the Sunny or Wano so they're not going. Chopper and Usopp could be in either group. Brooke has some sort of knowledge/ties to the Vimsmoke family so he's wedding crashing.

My guess is that Luffy, Brooke, and maybe Chopper are joined by Jinbei en route or before they leave Zou.

I thought it was Jimbei going the other way back to East Blue to "do something" before catching up with the straw hats again, I presumed it was meet up with the rebels

If they do split up, I hope we check in on the party Luffy isn't with from time to time. The way they came into Zou not knowing what was going on worked out, but I'm not sure it's something easily repeated. Plus, it was weird not seeing so much of the cast for so long.

yea I don't mind them splitting up so long as both sides get screentime. like this latest split led to sanji getting his first good scenes in a long time. that was the problem with when kuma split them all up. tho I expect all of thcrew's solo adventures to be revisited in more depth at some point

The situation with Jinbei isn't anything like that though? He already said he would join. If people were saying Momosuke was going join or something like that maybe you would have a point.

Jinbei isn't technically a member yet, but there's no way it won't happen.

I can't wait till Luffy goes to Big Mom's place and finds Jimbei tied up in her prison or whatever.

"This happens to you a lot, huh."
"People don't like it when I leave."

Jimbei even got chained up during the Fishman Island arc, guess he has a tendency do get himself in sticky chainy situations.

Okay I know that pun doesn't work but the important thing is that I tried.
