Break Week Removing Kaido makes OP better.

Hody is an empty villain, moved by no personal wound, if not the need to impose himself and his culture over that of others. It worked perfectly in the contest of the discrimination against the fishmen, and in the broad cycle of hatred that feeds on hatred.
IMO, since the WG was said to fear Wano so much, a local Wanonese "tyrant" would've better fit the bill. Not a Doflamingo who wants to subjugate the samurais, but a just daimyo who's motivated by the centuries-long prophecy to keep the borders closed against the WG. He'd still clash with Luffy over their own definitions of freedom, but he wouldn't be a villain, and he wouldn't need dethroning. He'd be the reverse of Hody: he sees the cycle of hatred and keeps Wano sealed from the rest of the world so it doesn't consume his country, too.
You could spice the arc by having two intruders: the SHs as adventurers, and the BMPs as potential invaders, seeking both Pluton and revenge against Luffy.
The two, Hody-Daimyo, would've nicely bookended the New World Saga, leading then to the Race for the One Piece--maybe having the SHs actively seek VP out as a countermeasure to Pluton's reawakening.

Best part of One Piece so far
Katakuri's fight was great but it doesn't compete
And look
The final war will far surpass Wano's fights
I'm not saying earlier One Piece fights are bad
Wano is just another tier, nothing compares
The final war will be even another tier, and Wano won't compare to it

Marineford looks weak and boring compared to Wano
Wano will look weak and boring compared to the final war
