Kin'emon referred to the sacking of Ryuma's grave as a national tragedy that brought Wano Country to its knees. Further information about this event is unclear, but I think it's safe to say, since Moriah had both Ryuma's corpse and sword, that he was the culprit. We also do not know if Moriah did this before or after he was defeated by Kaido.
Considering that Wano Country was rocked by this grave robbery, I have an idea as to what happened. Wano Country seems to be composed of regions controlled by different people (the three pieces I have for this are that the accurate translation of Kaido's occupation says that "he has taken over many areas of the country", Oden is referred to as a feudal lord that would have local control instead of national control, and the OnePiecexKyoto event centered around another figure who had Oden's equal rank and ruled over a different region of Wano). If no one knew who robbed the grave, and took the sword, then it could make sense if the clans started blaming each other for the crime. Such civil strife could turn into a war, and could certainly bring a country to its knees. Also, this event could lead to a distrust of foreigners so strong that Wano closes its borders.
It's possible that the Shogun, or another faction, had evidence that it was Moriah, and turned to a Yonko for retribution. If Moriah stole Ryuma before Kaido dominated him, this could have been a contributing factor to that confrontation. This would leave this faction of Wano indebted to Kaido, a favor that he would call in when the Kazuki clan refuses to reveal the True History as learned through the Poneglyphs on Roger's journey.
Also, if there was a Civil War, the factions of Wano would be weakened to the point that a combined Shogun and Kaido forces could sweep through the country more easily.
Do you guys have anything to add to this? What do you think?
