Cyrano

Cyrano is a character in Oda's one-shot, Monsters, and was a swordsman from Ryuma's past.

Appearance
He has a long, thin mustache that curves at the end. He also has a long sword which he carries on his belt. He also wears a musketeer hat over his side-combed brown hair.

Personality
At first, Cyrano seems like a man full of dignity. He was friendly, kind, and helpful. He also lived for honor and was ready to sacrifice himself to protect others.

Later, this was all proven to be a façade. In reality, Cyrano was an unscrupulous criminal. Manipulative and immoral, he would murder others if it serves his self-interest, and even sacrifice his own comrades to achieve his goals. Along with his partner, D.R., they both put up a false front of honorable individuals in order to earn trust of others before they commit criminal activities.

Cyrano was very arrogant, believing his status as a first-class swordsman and his fraudulent honor made him superior to Ryuma, and mocked the samurai constantly during their confrontation, which led Cyrano to a swift death.

Weapons and Swordsmanship
Cyrano was noted to be a first-class swordsman, and the fact that Ryuma was able to slay him in one simple strike made D.R. question in fear what happened. Cyrano's choice of weapon was a zweihänder.

Intelligence
Cyrano proved himself to be quite manipulative and cunning, as he pretended to rescue Flare in order to build some prestige for himself, so he could later rob a town without being suspected. He even had Ryuma framed to have him become a scapegoat, furthering his own securities. However, his heavy underestimation of the samurai led to his downfall.

History


Many years ago, Cyrano killed his subordinates and stole the Dragon Horn from them. He and his partner, D.R., used it to attack and rob Flare's hometown. He killed her father while she was unconscious and decided to use her to earn prestige for his own name by claiming he tried to rescue the townspeople but could only save her.

Seven years later, Ryuma had arrived. Cyrano and D.R. decided to use Ryuma as a decoy and scapegoat while they attack the village. D.R. used a fake Dragon Horn to scare the town's civilians away and they planned to loot the town. While the rest of the town evacuated, Ryuma and Flare stayed behind. They witnessed Cyrano's true colors and learned the true story behind Flare's past tragedy.

Ryuma then confronted Cyrano, who mocked him. Ryuma dodged Cyrano's strike and killed him in one stroke.
