The problem is that One Piece has always shown every other villains taking pride in how much of a scumbag they are and being bastards on-panel instead of having the narrator list their criminal record.
You can infer that Rocks isn't a saint but the fact that all is misdeeds are happening off-panel and he seems like a personable enough guy when he's around it causes the reader doesn't know whether he should just take other characters words for granted and assume he's the monster he's always been described as or if there's a reason why he's never shown hurting innocents (Loki doesn't count, if a giant angry baby that looks like the spawn of satan was charging at me I'd defend myself too).
