Jinbe is a whale shark fishman who was the second captain of the Sunny Pirates after Fisher Tiger, and who became a Shichibukai eight years ago. Jinbe’s name comes from jinbei-zame (็ๅนณ้ฎซ), which means “whale shark” in Japanese. His epithet, Kaikyou would normally translate into “Strait” or “Channel.” However since the kanji for it is written as (ๆตทไพ ใฎ) and not (ๆตทๅณกใฎ), the kyou part (ไพ ) of it comes from (ไปปไพ ), a honorific used when addressing a high ranking yakuza member, thus making his epithet a Japanese pun.
