Please don’t even compare Laido to Xebec, if Xebec was still alive then Kaido would be his YC2 just like the characters Kaido is constantly portrayed as having a rivalry with like Oden and Ace.
Xebec is shown as fighting an Admiral and two Pirate Kings, Kaido is shown failing against YC2
The only reason Kaido didn’t live his entire life as a subordinate is because the two pirate kings ganged up on the man who beat an Admiral

First, stuff like "Kaidou hid in Wano" — what are you, 10 years old or still learning how to read? In several parts of the manga, it's made clear that it's the others who choose not to go to Wano to face Kaidou, not the other way around. Kaidou didn’t hide in Wano. He was heading to Marineford. When Ace attacked Onigashima, Kaidou was out on an expedition. Gaban, Blackbeard, Green Bull, the World Government, and even Prime Whitebeard made it clear who's really afraid of facing whom. All of those guys avoided confronting Kaidou.
Be a man, damn it.

Literally ALL the 'YC2' we have in the verse take a hit from Base Kaidou with Thunder Bagua.
