Just a thought: Why does the fact that Jinbe is banned from FI mean anything if FI will get destroyed (assuming it will).
Also, supporting Bonney for nakama.
And finally, the fact that Jinbe is a helmsman makes him a possible candidate, but it doesn't make him a good one unless someone can point to an example where they needed a better helmsman (maybe on the way to FI island, I'll need to reread it...)
