I'm not sure. He was a criminal and then he became the legendary gladiator who winned 3000 fights in 9 years. He is hardly a symbol of peace and that's the reason King Riku faked Scarlett's death so that she can be with Kyros. Everyone in Dressrosa loved and admired Kyros for his strenght so they wanted him to be happy but you can't just make a criminal, a member of the royal family of a peaceful contry like Dressrosa. Riku will most likely be begged by the citizens to sit on the throne as Viola and Rebecca cannot succed him for various reasons. I just can't picture them as a leader of the country (Kyros too).
