I feel like it may be related to haki. I mean, pure willpower, something like the "Will of the D.". As guardians of the Nika legend, they're certainly related to Joyboy and what happened in the Void Century... I think that they have the power to protect what they love at all costs (including...

In the most conservative estimate, Shanks made a huge impression on Kaido during their encounter pre-Marineford. About the absence of Garp, Sengoku and Rayleigh, he probably never fought them. Linlin is indeed a big question mark, maybe he considered her like a big sister (or they were lovers...

I agree, Nika could've been better explained earlier. I know that there were signs as back as Skypiea, but it still looked like an asspull to me.

Yeah, he kinda felt like a Douglas Bullet 2.0 (or Kaido was the inspiration for Bullet? Maybe the movie writers had some tips from Oda?) and I personally didn't like Stampede that much. Wano was the ideal arc to show more about the Rocks Pirates, but we got almost nothing.

They can hurt by the sheer numbers. Look at Whitebeard, he was worn down for the entire Marineford Arc. But a buster call is something entirely different, it isn't about wearing down... it will target friend or foe, specially considering that there is a battle still going on. I'm thinking that...

Laffitte. As we've seen so far, his stealth abilites are top notch. He infiltrated Mary Geoise unnoticed until he announced himself and single handely opened the Gates of Justice to Marineford. He must have pretty good infiltration skills. Devon may also play a role, since her DF is about deceiving.

TBH, is a buster call even something that can REALLY make something other than destroying the island? Back in Enies Lobby the buster call was called to kill the strawhats (actually by accident, but once there their goal was to destroy the SHs), but not a single one of them was killed. In fact...

Well, the most recent chapter showed that the buccaneer race still has something to reveal. We'll see.

As far as we know, he's dead... at least as stated by Vegapunk and Kuma himself. Now his body just moves according to the instruction from its program. We don't even know how the God Valley Incident played out. Yeah, they probably killed the majority of them, but we still don't know how many...

He was a king, but the de facto ruler of Sorbet was Bulldog. Even then, Bekori brought an armada to take back the kingdom and they put a bounty on Kuma's head. He was never in peace and ended up dead, better be a loyal slave since childhood, as you say.

It would be a nice throwback if true, but I think it's hardly possible. Moria was 12 years old in the year of God Valley Incident and would just form his zombie army AFTER he was defeated by Kaido, 20 or so years ago (he met Dr. Hogback much later, as Cindry's death happened ten years before...

Well, as far as we know, he IS still a slave (or was, until he died; if you consider his body, then after that too). He just had enough power/help to escape/offer resistance, unlike 99,9% of other slaves. Still, he tried his chances for his freedom and his dream against all odds, he could've...

Kuma actually saved 500 people from God Valley. I'd rather try my chances as a free man than be a slave.

This isn't guaranteed. If a CD killed Clapp, a rare buccaneer, just because of a song, imagine what they could do to a "broken" human. But well, you're right, he could be free. I searched more about it and found some "free" slaves, although not all managed to survive for long:

In the best hypothesis, he's a wanted man, hiding or on the run. In the worst, he's working to his last breaths at Tequila Wolf. This ain't no freedom.

He happened to have the extreme luck of having Luffy punching Charlos, otherwise he would be sold to someone else (he could be in a different place though, as I can't see him among the liberated slaves of chapter #504). Considering that he may be already "damaged", he possibly would be sent to...

Genocide is heinous, but we can't overlook that Mary Geoise functions basically with "human hamsters" powering it. IMO, better die than live such a miserable life. Are you sure about that? That's the average CD slave for you:

As cool as a former admiral in the SHs seems on paper (and its implications, like a future Aokiji x Kizaru fight, etc.), I don't think it'll happen. I feel that it would kinda imbalance the world, having so many admirals resigning. Plus, we already had an event of an admiral resigning and...

Yes, Oda comments that DF users can bathe without issues, but in showers, for example. You can see it here, it's the last Q&A. About the OP: we don't know for sure why the DF users have this weakness, it could certainly be related to the WG higher-ups, but I feel like we won't see them...

DF users can't swim, even in fresh water. Oda talked about this in SBS Vol. 41, they become weak after submerging waist up in any body of water. Sui Sui no Mi is the only DF that makes the user capable of "swimming", apparently. Your point about buoyancy is interesting though, I never...
