Buccaneers

Buccaneers are a nearly-extinct special race of humanoids taller than average humans but smaller than giants.

Appearance
Buccaneers appear nearly identical to humans, although seemingly large-sized on average. They cannot be easily distinguished from otherwise tall humans without a blood test.

Biology
Buccaneers carry the blood of the giants, suggesting they may be a mixed race.

It is currently unclear whether a child between a buccaneer and a human is considered a "half-buccaneer" or not, as Bartholomew Kuma is only ever referred to as a "buccaneer" despite having a human mother.

Inter-species Relationships
Buccaneers are said to have committed a great crime against the world in the past, due to which they are forced to hide from the World Government to avoid persecution. If discovered, a buccaneer and their family may be forced into slavery for the World Nobles.

Overall Strength
Buccaneers are shown to possess great physical strength even as children and the incredibly large durable bodies that can withstand massive degrees of duress and damage.

Beliefs
The legend of the Sun God Nika has been passed down in buccaneer folklore for many generations, as Nika is revered as a divine figure who will bring joy and freedom to the world as per buccaneer beliefs.

Trivia

 * Buccaneers were a type of privateer or pirate active in the Caribbean Sea during the 17th and 18th centuries.
 * Before the term "buccaneer" became associated with piracy, it instead was used to refer to certain nomadic tribes of the Caribbean, after their specific methods of cooking hunted animals.
 * Despite not being biologically related to her adoptive father Bartholomew Kuma, Jewelry Bonney is able to gain a large and muscular physique resembling that of a buccaneer when using her Toshi Toshi no Mi's Distortion Future.
 * The claim that the Buccaneers committed a serious crime against the world in the past is very potentially a lie concocted by the World Government. The real reason the race was relentlessly hunted to the point of near extinction was because they knew of the legend of Nika, as the World Government went to extreme lengths to erase Nika's existence entirely.
