I haven't watched any of One Piece in a really long time, but I'm at least pretty familiar with the earlier arcs, mostly due to reading the manga and watching that, in retrospect, abominable dub done by 4Kids. Anyway, aside from uncertainty regarding how high the heinous standard in One Piece has become, I give Kuro a yes, since at the time, he really set the standard for how vile villains in that series could be. First, he has a quite an enormous body count in his backstory, since at the very least, he slaughtered that ship full of marines. Second, in the present, he was going to have everyone on Sugar Island killed just to make sure he had covered his tracks. Third, he was going to kill Kaya even though she admitted she would have just given him her fortune out of nothing more than spite for feeling it was beneath himself to pretend serving her, and finally, he even nearly slaughtered his own crew. At the very leatst he definitely stood out for the early arcs of the story.
