I think most people see Kuzan's association with the BB Pirates and the Underworld as a ploy to hit them where it hurts in some kind of way. He was always portrayed as the Marine who's "just doing his job", and actually has a pretty well established moral compass. From what we've seen of him so far, it just doesn't seem in his nature for him to be evil. Its seems like he put on this front as Navy Admiral, but underneath he was a very rational and understanding man. It really would be a plot twist if he was just an evil mufucka all along.
