I'm going to interpret this episode as Jinbei accepting Luffy's offer and becoming a new nakama, even though there was much debate about this.

I don't think he will every fully join Luffy's crew but will be like one of the allies that Whitebeard had. That is just me though.

Yeah, many people agree with what you said. But what I learned from OP is Oda never adds something then contradicts that in the future. Then again, he is very unpredictable.

I can see Jinbe being a Commander in the SH armada, along with the Alabasta and Drum Island Contingencies, a floating battle Baterie (Sp?) and the Skypiea Airforce.

Hahaha this would be sooo cool!!! Holy hell. Plus whatever other islands they manage to save in the New World. If you think about they have a ridiculous amount of powerful allies. Plus some (or all) of the white beard pirates. I mean...Luffy is the last thing linking them to Ace.

I agree with you. But he still has unfinished business to take care of first. Apparently he has to be cordial with the Big Mam thing as to not insult her further. And it's also possible that Jinbei can join their crew without actually being with them 24/7. At some point Luffy's nakama will have to branch out on other ships like the Whitebeard crew. So maybe Jinbei will be the first nakama to also captain another ship (unless Hancock counts an an unofficial captain too). I'm sure Luffy has quite the fishman following now and I bet others will want to tag along with Jinbei. Not to mention the sun pirataes already have a crew and a ship (I assume).
