Well... I'd think Jinbei's skill might be useful but I don't think it will have any impact on the story after fishman island (could be wrong though) unless Jinbei is going to join the crew. I'm actually starting to consider it.

Robin's new skills... uh... *coughhentaiofoddercough*

Sanji is being useful! To soften the blows... but well, he took the attacks rather easily it seems. I always like to watch Sanji do stupid things.

Brooks new skill is pretty neat though I wonder how useful it would be in battle. Seems to be incorporeal so the best he can do is scare people. (On purpose or not) But it was definitely funny... Hope the guys will get out there and free the palace soon. With Hodigone it's just a matter of seconds. (Why can't Zoro just bend the cage, though?)

Oh, btw who's that new villain guy? Can't recall seeing him earlier. Looked pretty annoying, though. One of Hodi's pals, apparently.
