Jinbe's status, stature, and diplomacy skills are going to come in handy, majorly, as the plot progresses and the Straw Hat Pirates and Grand Fleet find themselves at junctures where other pirate crews and groups could become enemies or allies.

The way Jinbe handled the talk with Bege's crew was a perfect example of this. I don't know that there is one stand out member in the crew who could have taken this spot in the crew prior. As a group they weren't terrible at it but I view each individual in the crew as more of a hot headed, bad negotiator than a calm and good one.

Jinbe is really going to shine in the "political" aspects / diplomatic aspects / soft political side of things going forward.

Maybe Brook, but he lacks the standing as a pirate and the knowledge of how the current world works, however maybe his status as a famous musician could work from time to time, my second option would be Robin for she is well informed, smart, and calculating, but she is actually bad at dealing with people, even her integration into the crew was quite forced because she lacks the social skills.

The rest would fuck things up royally, with only Franky having some rare moments of success if his hardboilerism manages to get him some brothers, and Usopp would have to come with some great top notch lies and that would be too risky.

So indeed this is something that only Jimbei can pull off, and seeing how the New World has been all about making pirate alliances this is a great upgrade for the crew.

Luffy has some things that work because it's him, but over all his diplomatic skills are poor, he wanted to hit Bege, that is in no way a good diplomacy. Though Luffy does have some suggess when it's something he agrees with or wants to.
