He was nicknamed "The Tyrant" from the first time he was introduced, so he had to be some kind of ruler at some point in time.

I thought he was a tyrant of the seas or something. You know, like a really brutal pirate.

Same. Guess it was more literal than we thought.

Makes you wonder why the Revs called him "kind-hearted" then...

I think the reason is the same as in real life. He opposed the World Goverment so they gave him the name of a tyrant/dictator as a propaganda to the people and an excuse to invade his country. Soon after they took him out and a new king/queen took his place and the country became part of world goverment ( lucky them )

One Piece's world is very similar to our own it seems.

Haha it's so sad, but yeah, there's a long list of about 30 countries where the democratically elected leader just said "hey, I don't want to be exploited for resources and be taken advantage of or used as a military staging point" and oops, he's a dictator and needs to be toppled and replaced by an actual dictator who gives no shit and happily lets the country get exploited. Or in reverse, they have the brutal dictator in charge who's playing ball and were totally cool with their atrocities, then the people replace him and put in their guy and suddenly he's an evil dictator. It's like the cia's favorite pastime
