I think it does a lot for Jimbei as well, since we didn't really know him all that well either. And I guess it sets the stage to finally get invested in the conflict? I mean, before this I pretty much felt like a tourist too, but now I do actually care about the island and its fate going forward.

Part of Hordy being worse than Arlong is it's not just those that oppose him he's willing to sacrifice. We've already seen him use one of his Fishman allies to block an attack from Zoro with zero hesitation.
