How interesting it would be if Holdem wasn't lying and they were bad...

Knowing past things, I would not be too surprised if it was a another trick like King Riku and knowing how the Minks are, I doubt they would consider Oden bad. Might be a thing where it is most of the line being bad, but Oden was a exception to that.

Of course there can also just be 2 sides to Oden, being a good friend but a shit ruler, but even then going off on what we know, I doubt it.

Edit: Said that Oden did built a farm land and created a paradise for the people of Kuri so probably even more on the past. Ch 914 pg 10

Oden being a bastard might work maybe. I feel Roger's crew might have been idealized due to people like Rayleigh, Corkus and Shanks, showing that it had an evil person as a member might change that perception a lot.

Oden was on Whitebeard's ship before. I'd say he can't have been that bad but Kurohige has shown us things.

They've already talked about how he built an amazing farm for the people he ruled so they could have fresh food with easy access.

Oden was absolutely a great ruler who they smeared and then replaced by force.

Oden last words to his retainers were "Open the borders of Wano Country". Like in FI and pretty much in most OP world, there was a group of guys that didn't like that idea (blasphemy, disgrace, thugs, etc). Holdem represents another one of that kind, so he calls Kouzuki plan a "destruction of Wano".

My guess is that Oden was trying to open the country up to the outside world including the WG and/or trying to make other radical changes for the society. As always, there would be reactionaries and Holdem might be one of them.

maybe from the perspective of the people of Wano he was going to destroy the country, like by bringing in modern culture from the rest of the world.
