The straw hats have navigated the knock up stream, fishman island, evading capture by Garp, and multiple new world situations. They don't need a helmsman and they never have. It's a useless position.

Jinbei doesn't belong with the straw hats because he's a new world veteran. He's not there to grow or achieve his dreams, he's a stagnant character whose only real place in the story is muscle. The straw hats need fresh people with fresh dreams, not some fat washed up fish who has already been on 3 legendary pirate crews. Rayleigh is also a close ally and saved/trained Luffy but he wouldn't belong on the crew either. His personality also doesn't match the straw hats goofy dynamic and looks severely out of place when Oda tries it.
Lmfao they don't need a sniper or musician either

A swordsman is also an useless position too. So is a cook (you don't need a Michelin star chef, just a person keeping scurvy away). And a musician. Knock up stream helped destroy Merry, in Fishman Island their buble almost exploded and they evaded Garp because they had one trick to fly away (what would happen if said trick wasn't operative?). And let's not mention situations where a good helmsman would have saved the day, such as climbing Wano's waterfall. Usopp was capable of more or less fixing the ship until Franky joined; but Franky did it better and more reliably. Same for Jinbe.

It doesn't matter whether Jinbe is a New World veteran or not because the point of his character is that he hasn't gotten the chance to grow nor achieve his dreams. It was made clear in Whole Cake Island when his own crewmates exhorted him to leave and join Luffy: since day one he has never lived the life he wanted for himself and his own goals but has only fought for his responsabilities. Which is laudable but against freedom. Sailing with Luffy is his chance to finally stop discrimination against fishmen, discrimination that is a core theme in this story as pretty much every non human has faced it from the World Government (sometimes to the point of genocide). Saying that his only real place in the story is muscle when he represents the fight against discrimination is boldly simplistic.

Rayleigh achieved what he wanted and his will was linked to Roger's. He's in no way like Jinbe. Regarding the "Straw Hats goofy dynamic", he is no different than Robin. Jinbe just plays the straight man, which is a role older than you; too much goofiness kills comedy.

Never said they were needed, not sure what your point is here. I was responding to the point that Jinbei has a role to fill but no he doesn't.

That's what Franky is for, both him and the sunny fixed that problem.

Usopp was capable of more or less fixing the ship until Franky joined
Hilariously wrong, Usopp wasn't even close to being able to fix the ship. We had multiple arcs highlighting how inept he was at it.

It doesn't matter whether Jinbe is a New World veteran or not because the point of his character is that he hasn't gotten the chance to grow nor achieve his dreams.
The entire point of him sailing with the sun pirates was for his character growth and achieve his dreams. He then became a warlord to help his people. Sailing with Luffy has nothing to do with this.

Sailing with Luffy is his chance to finally stop discrimination against fishmen
What? When was this ever stated? and how exactly is sailing with one of the most notorious pirates in the world going to stop discrimination against fish?

Once again,she has nothing .
To quote myself
Oda literally gave her a Wano guardian devil fruit 30-35 chapters before the ending of Wano. Saying he just changed his mind after the break is simply not true.
Yamato also never had any actual dream,when we were shown her flasback. Simply wanting to go out to seas isn't a dream.

Characters saying they want something=/= actually happening.
She is simply an Oden cosplayer .
Luffy didn't have a problem for a fucking centaur to come aboard the Sunny.
This is no argument.

Not to mention the complete lack of any skills outside of combat. Outside of Zoro all crewmembers have somthing going for them. But well,if Oda wanted her to join he could've given her something on the spot.

That, first, filling a role isn't necessary; and even if it was necessary, Jinbe does fill one more important than others in the crew.

That's what Franky is for, both him and the sunny fixed that problem.
Franky can't handle the helm the way Jinbe can.

Hilariously wrong, Usopp wasn't even close to being able to fix the ship. We had multiple arcs highlighting how inept he was at it.
Noone else in the crew is close to being able to truly steer the ship. Put Jinbe in the different situations I mentioned and they will overcome it more easily and in a safer way. Simple as that. Whatever level of fix Usopp achieves is similar to the level of steering the rest achieve in comparison to Jinbe.

The entire point of him sailing with the sun pirates was for his character growth and achieve his dreams. He then became a warlord to help his people. Sailing with Luffy has nothing to do with this.
Sailing with Luffy is the only way to achieve a systemic change. Sailing with the Sun Pirates and joining the Shichibukai was a blotch; he was never going to achieve his dream that way and this was made abundantly clear.

What? When was this ever stated? and how exactly is sailing with one of the most notorious pirates in the world going to stop discrimination against fish?
In Whole Cake Island, during a speech in which he explains Luffy will be the man to change the world and that his fight for Pirate King will eventually lead to a fight for freedom that will end discrimination against fishmen. Surprising how you are seriously trying to argue against Jinbe as a crewmate when you don't even remember the basics; are you serious here? We are done, for real; get some true understanding of the basics before trying to discuss anything, please.

Fk sakes every time we go to an island you guys want to vote the token female to a Strawhats status.

Leave well enough alone.

Vivi, Monet, Rebecca, Yamato.. when is it going to end?

You guys would perv all 4 of those women and they would refuse to join your ships. You know that, and yet you still insist on bringing every woman you see on the journey.

Tsk tsk tsk keep it in your pants, boys. It's a damn drawing.

She will most definitely be back at Elbaf.
There is no fucking way Oda wont capitalize on how Elbaf seems to be Norse based and we have someone going all the time claiming to be Oden.

They all gonna think she claims to be Odin.

I like how Carrot isnt in this despite being with them for a while yet Vivi is in there despite the actual Strawhat crew regarding her as one of them also after travelling a while.

Make it make sense.

Is suffering lol
They want all the side characters to join SH.
Just in egghead
I saw Bonney , Stussy , vegapunk , even fuckin Lucci thread that they join SH.
I think Bonnie makes a bit more sense than those Wano ideas. Momo, Yamato, Carrot and such.

Only Nakama make sense that we need to see more of throughout the whole final saga.

So Vivi, Bonnie, maybe Perona make sense here.

All 3 have nowhere to go or will get subdued by some scumbag.

Princess Piece is real.

I get your point but Bonney and Vegapunk arent just "somerandom".
Lucci is yeah, weird though for numerous obvious reasons.
