It is meaningless because he wasted how many years acting the clown instead of waging war against Crydo that could have potentially saved Wano way earlier. The thing that was holding him back was the inevitable casualites of war but as we've seen that was BS in the manga. No soul perished when he fought Crydo. The Yamato for Nakama for Nakama and Wanonese shkit later on was a non variable at that time.
