Kyros

Kyros (キュロス) was a legendary gladiator.

A great bronze statue of him is held at the Corrida Colosseum. Even though Kyros fought at the Corrida Colosseum only 20 years ago, no one in Dressrosa knows if he actually existed.

Appearance
In his statue, he appears as a large muscular man, with a pointy goatee and flowing hair. He sported a classic gladiators helmet and a cape.

Personality
Not much is known about his personality.

Abilities and Powers
He was the strongest fighter to have ever fought in the Colosseum, winning 3000 fights while taking only a single hit, so it's assumed that he is proficient in battle. Unlike most other gladiators, he fought only with a sword.

Past
Kyros is considered to be the mightiest fighter in the history of the Corrida Colosseum, where he fought until he disappeared from battle 20 years ago. He remained undefeated for 3000 battles, sustaining only one hit. His identity remains unknown.
