General & Others If Jinbe and Yamato won't be Monsters or Wings to Luffy, then what would they be to him?

This won't be a thread talking about the status of the Monster Trio or Wings, since I know some people can be really defensive on those two subjects, but instead I wanted to focus on what Jinbe and Yamato would be to Luffy in light of that, since both of them have been brought up in particular as of late in a way that interested me enough to create this thread, such as what dynamic, theme, etc. they could possibly have. I suppose one idea could be "Guardian Trio," going by Luffy being compared to a Wisdom King, Jinbe having been a Royal Guard, and Yamato being talked about in reference to a guardian deity. I'm sure there are more ideas that can be brought up.

Yamato will definitely be the gatekeeper of the crew. She doesn't seem like the type to allow anybody to badmouth luffy the crew Oden ace or anybody. She's the least laid back of the crew and comes off like a beserker.
Oh yeah, I think ogres have had links to being guardians/gatekeepers in mythology, so that might link her more to having a guardian sort of role in Luffy’s story in addition to the fruit guardian deity reference.

Front and back something? Jinbei will guide luffy as he is more level headed and has experience and have luffy's back where yamato can be a warrior

Yamato basically is oden of roger pirates so she may have similar position as oden had in roger pirates
Jinbe has definitely been an emotional guide to Luffy in parallel to Nami being a physical guide. Yamato could be the one to have his back more often while the others are busy.

Jinbei is so many things beyond the Robin/Brook association. Only PL wankers will group his contributions with the likes of Brook and Robin lmao.

He is an emotional pillar to Luffy, and a man that Luffy basically owes his life on so many instances: MF war, post-MF, FMI, WCI arcs. And their bond is also secured by blood too since Jinbei gave Luffy a transplant.

He is also a representation of influence and power to the SHs due to his previous status as a Shichibukai. That means A LOT in the OP world, people will hardly cower at Zoro because he hasn't really made a name for himself yet but they will shit their pants at Jinbei because his reputation is already set.

Yamato is just another Ace parallel for now. Her role has yet to be developed but given that she's read Oden's journal she will likely have a role in uncovering the secrets of OP like Robin. She may also make a name for herself while in the SHs since she has CoC and is the only child of the WSC.
