Jimbei is nicknamed the "knight of the sea" because he acts as a body guard for Fishman Island. He is essentially the protector of his race and territory. However, I also do recall that when Jimbei was first revealed back in Chapter 528, his nickname was also translated as "Yakuza of the sea". If I'm correct with my very limited Japanese knowledge, "Yakuza" means a type of gang leader who enforces and acts upon his ideals and beliefs with great pride and honor. This description fits Jimbei very well given what we've seen from him so far. If I got the leader part right (and usually the leader is the strongest), Jimbei is most likely the most powerful fishman currently alive.
