"Make a mistake, and people get hurt. Make another one, and more people get hurt. Make even more then that, and people start to die. In my circle, I won't allow that. Don't mess up and let others take the fall. Take responsibility, and be rewarded. Don't, and I'll make sure you don't live to see the rise of tomorrow's sun."

- Luca S. Aster

"Nobunaga" Luca S. Aster, often nicknamed "Aster", is an infamous pirate and Samurai, born and raised in Wano Country.

Appearance
Although Aster is of course a human (he did not consume a devil fruit pertaining to his dog-like features) he applied a semi-permanent illusionary effect on himself with the Toyo Toyo no Mi devil fruit. In applying the Dog Illusion kanji (犬の錯視; Inu no sakushi) to himself, his appearance changed to look like one. However, he does not possess any extra abilities or strength due to his appearance. Rather, he changed his appearance to inspire ferociousness in his allies and intimidate his enemies. Nobody really knows what his true body looks like.

Aster also constantly wears his Wano samurai armor and helmet, that, in addition to providing a layer of protection, pays homage to his home and ancestors. Aster makes sure to oil and wash it every chance he gets, and repair any damage as fast as possible.

Personality
Luca S. Aster is very confident in his abilities, and fairly cocky in battle. However, he longs to join a pirate crew.

Devil Fruit Powers
Toyo Toyo no Mi (東洋東洋の実): Luca S. Aster possess the abilities of the Toyo-Toyo no Mi, making him a Kanji Human (漢字人間 Kanji Ningen).
