Attire: Luca loves to dress light, as it allows him an array of movement, along with the fact that he finds dressing in too many layers makes it unbearable and stuffy.

For his trousers he wears a pair of black pants with a small dark blue sash tied around the waist, acting as a belt of sorts. He normally sports a pair of black leather dress shoes, and on his hands a pair of matching black leather gloves. When he is cooking, he can be seen wearing a light blue apron with various small white snowflakes riddled about.

When the weather gets warmer, Luca will sport his usual shirt and a pair of light blue shorts, with his sash being used instead as a cover for his head, to protect him from the sun. He also replaces his ski boots with a pair of dark brown sandals. When the weather gets cold though his attire doesn't change much, due to his affinity to the cold but he may sport a thin dark navy scarf around his neck but that is about all of the changes for the cold.
Abnormalities: The man does have one lower ear piercing and two upper piercings on his right ear. On his left arm, there are a various array of scars ranging from small cuts, to a bullet wound or two and ending off with a small third decree burn on his shoulder.

Luca was a man that was born with cooking in his veins, as his father was actually a head cook of one of the lesser nobles of the Lyneel Kingdom. Luca quickly took interest in his father's work and during the man's time off, he would show Luca how to make some beginner dishes, however they wouldn't normally end up looking or tasting like they were supposed to. This didn't stop the young Luca and he worked at it, getting progressively better and better until he turned about fifteen, that is when his cooking started to take a turn for the better, as if some switch turned and unleashed all of his cooking potential. His dishes were starting to be on par with his father's which was a feat that the two didn't expect to happen this early in Luca's life.

When the man reached eighteen, his culinary skills reached a point where his father had not much to teach, but the young Luca wanted to learn more of the different dishes around the seas and sought after a small crew that would allow him to board their ship. Luckily he managed to find a small crew of rather mannered pirates that took him in as their chef, and that served as more experience for the teen as he learned how to manage supplies and nourish people while at sea. He even received some combat training with daggers, and was even given Kitsunetīsu as a gift from the captain as it was something the crew managed to steal while on one of their earlier voyages.

Life was good for the now twenty year old Luca, as he sailed with the crew for about two years and they treated each other like family. Well at least it was good until one evening where they stumbled upon something rather interesting, it was a weird fruit which look like a mix of light blue with a layer of white on top. It was obvious that the fruit was one of the famed Devil fruits, although it wasn't really clear on which one it was but regardless it was agreed that it was to be sold and the profits will go towards a new boat along with brand new supplies that would last.....well several years at least.

News about the crew obtaining a devil fruit sweeped across the area, which led to a few encounters with some unsavory pirates but they were able to held their ground and defeat those who wished to steal the fruit for themselves. Well this would be true if it wasn't for a late night raid on their ship, it was a shock to about everyone on board and caught them by surprise. Luca heard sounds of pistols being fired and swords clashing, and when he came face-to-face with their attackers, it ended up being a crew of marine officers who wanted to have the fruit for themselves. This had taken the man back as he would attack those who have already killed some of his crew-mates, and he fought his way to the treasure room, where the fruit laid. What he saw however wasn't a reassuring sight as there laid his captain, in a pool of blood in-front of the safe, with tears running down his face Luca ran towards the man. The captain was rather relieved that Luca was alright, despite the various wounds he took on his arms and the captain informed him that they couldn't let the fruit get into the raiding marine's hands, and the captain reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small key and whispered the code to the safe before he died, succumbing to his wounds.

Luca then obtained the magical fruit but not long before three marine officers made their way to the treasure room, their swords had a crimson liquid along their blades which meant that they must have fought and killed most if not all of his crew-mates. As the three marines edged closer Luca's mind was racing, then as he glanced at the devil fruit in his hand and without a second thought he quickly shoved the fruit in his mouth. It wasn't until after the man ate the fruit that he understood what he had done, but it meant nothing to him as long as it was out of reach of those dirty marines' hands. Out of nowhere Luca felt a surge of awesome power as his finger-tips started to fall, and taking the form of small snowflakes and then realizing that it was one of fruits that turned the person into a element, and his case it was snow. With a quick smirk the man quickly took a huge breath and created a miniature snowstorm in the treasure room, and in the blinding snow he managed to attack and defeat all three of the officers with his kris dagger.

Once daylight hit the ship, it was revealed that the whole top layer of a rather abandoned marine vessel was covered in thick snow and the crew's ship lodged next to it , but it was missing one lifeboats it was used for Luca to escape before more Marines would show up. Ever since that encounter it left a bad taste in Luca's mouth and he found himself unable to stand the marines, even some of the nicer ones. If you jump ahead fours years after that incident, you would see Luca making a living going island to island making his dishes for money, and practicing his devil fruit's powers as he searches for new recipes and maybe even another chance of joining a crew, and protect them.

[attr="class","weapon"]

• ⚔ Kitsunetīsu - It is translated to Fox Tooth, and it is a nice looking kris dagger with a curved pistol-grip handle made from Ironbark which gives it a nice dark finish and very resistant to rot. At the end of the handle, there is a carving of a fox's head taking the same look as the one from his jolly roger. The blade is about 9 inches and has about 6 waves in the steel blade. Luca will use this when he doesn't want to reveal his actual abilities, but he is rather adept of wielding it. It is usually seen in a black and gold custom sheath, and is tuck into the right side of his sash.
  

[attr="class","nonwea"]

• ★ Snowboard - This is just a normal black snowboard with his jolly roger at the top of the design followed by white various snowflakes all around. This is mostly used for his Yuki Norite technique, but it can work as bludgeoning device.
  
• ★ Cooking Utensils - The tools of the trade, as this counts all of his various pans, skillets, spices well just about everything he needs to be a cook.
  
• ★ Various Cookbooks - Well what is a chef without all of his recipes in a book for ease of remembering, and Luca owns several that ranges from celebrity chefs of just books filled with his own creations.

[attr="class","ability"]

• ▶ Abnormal Cold Resistance - Before Luca had obtained his devil fruit, he was always known for his strange resistance to the cold. So while people were all bundled up in coats to venture the weather, Luca would just stroll out with a small vest and pants and laugh at those bundled all up. Now, this ability is increased and the guy can strut around in the cold weather with nothing more than a tank top and shorts, and only get a little bit cold.
  
• ▶ Culinary "Genius" - That is what Luca calls himself, although he might be stretching it a bit. However despite this the man does have a knack of making rather nice looking dishes, that even end up tasting good as well! While he does specialize in making cold dishes and adding some extra flare by contributing his snow into a few of his own creations, he can also grill up whatever he can find. Luca does have the uncanny ability to also make a nice meal out of even the most scarce ingredients, he was given the compliment once that he made even marine rations taste good.
  
• ▶ Knife Proficiency - This is an result of both Luca's combat training, and also his cooking skills. He prefers to use his dagger when he doesn't want to reveal his devil fruit, and has been able to pull of some quick movements and strikes using the weapon. So it is safe to assume, that even without his logia he can deal some damage.
