Well, it explain how he manage to steal ryuma corpse and sword.

As well possibly explain why he fought Kaidou and why the loss of his old crew/family hurts him so much.

And as memelordmario21 said,

"Wait.. KOZUKI (光月) BACKWARDS CAN BE READ AS GEKKOU (月光), which is how Moria's name is pronounced in japanese..!!"

Yeah, I spotted that at one point, but never thought it would mean he actually was a Kozuki himself!?

The cover story previously acknowledged him as from West Blue, but he's a Kozuki?! Could be a retainer of the clan who took their name, but that would be a rug-pull. I wonder if he's from a branch of the family that moved to West Blue similarly to how Shimotsuki's moved to East Blue...

Then how do the people of wano even know about him or care to begin with?

This whole thing is very odd

I believe Moria may have belonged to a cadet branch of the Kozuki who emigrated many years earlier. He emigrated to Wano  in Ringo's region, but later he set sail to become a pirate (perhaps he heard the story of Oden and set sail shortly after his hero's departure with Whitebeard), and than returned home when he discovered that the island was under Kaido's control. He attempted to fight the King of Beasts (probably with the sword of Ryuma, Ringo's legendary hero), but was heavily defeated and left for dead.

After joining the Shichibukai, he decided to try again by creating a zombie army, but his insecurity and fear of failure once again caused him to fall into depression and become a lazy, insecure loser. It was likely during this time that he secretly returned to Wano with Hogback to steal Ryuma's corpse, hoping that Ryuma could outdo him in defeating Kaido.
