<p>After having a first look at Jinbei at Impel Down I was wondering, what kind of a fish is he?</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/YKnALl.png" alt="Jinbe"></p>

<p>(Since fish-men are half human - half fish). <strong>Arlong was a blue saw-shark</strong>, but Jinbe doesn't appear to resemble a shark so I was wondering, what kind of a fish he could be? Also, are the two white things sticking out of his mouth teeth or elephant-like tusks?</p>
