So much for my theory on Dragon being the strongest man alive... Looks like it's official from Oda's mouth. Kaidou the beast is the strongest man alive in One Piece.
Cannot wait for a statue on this guy!! Such a cool character.
Kaido's the strongest because the strong survive!
Kaido may not be the greatest combatant because he's a man and when Whitebeard lived he was considered strongest - the closest to the One Piece.
Kaido is interesting but something about him doesn't make a lot of sense. It has to be a curse or a strange DF which Blackbeard cannot suppress. For example, guillotine blades have simply shattered? Why doesn't this dude just sit at the bottom of the ocean? Does he not need to breathe? Why not simply attempt suicide by daring Crocodile to mummify him? Does he consist of more moisture than the All Blue?
Apparently he's not kill-able by all attempts yet also not indomitable in battle, though still quite ferocious all the same. I think he could put a whooping on the Kid Alliance if they're naive enough to fight him. Though, I would expect some effort out of Kaido or else it begs the question, "What was their plan for The Red Hair Pirates?" Kaido is alone. If their 3 crews are around the same level as Saboady Archipelago, then they'll get worked with utmost ease! Doubt it though.

Didn't even check to see if any responded to this lol...
Without a doubt every single supernova received a power boost 2-3x more than what they would normally achieve in the time frame of 2 years. Luffy however I'd say got a boost of 5x and Zoro around that much as well. The fact that Sanji was never considered a supernova bugged me. It placed him so far into the background. The most annoying part is knowing that at least 6 straw hats (non supernovas) could defeat most of the weaker novas.
Givin the odd bit of info on Kaido I doubt anyone of the novas and the strawhats could take him. Maybe they would win for a little while until they realize how useless their efforts are. The guy can't die as stated. Your theory about drowning him makes sense though. Brook can't be killed either though and he isn't much of a threat.
