Background / History

Gion was raised under the care of Rear Admiral Shizi, a close friend of Gion's sister. This connection was the principal reason Headquarters selected her to make a final attempt at recruiting the retired strategist back to Marineford. 19

She traveled toward the West Blue aboard the warship carrying Zephyr's Elite Training Camp recruits. Although Kuzan led their practical assessment against the Capone Pirates, Gion was only hitching a ride and had a separate assignment. 12 13

During the voyage, a Beaver-Cat that had eaten the Paramecia-type Swap-Swap Fruit exchanged Gion's body with Noxia's. The creature lacked the stamina to reverse the effect immediately, leaving Gion in Noxia's body for several days. 16 17

Unable to conduct her Shizi mission personally, Gion entrusted it to Noxia, who was using her body. He ultimately helped resolve Shizi's long-standing misunderstanding with Garp and persuaded her to return to Headquarters. 18 19 31 32 The body swap later reversed unexpectedly, leaving Gion back in her own body while Noxia remained at Shizi's home in his original body. 31

Following the West Blue voyage, Gion undertook missions in the New World. During the G-7 Branch's defeat, she initially suppressed Smoothie through swordsmanship but was ultimately overwhelmed by Dugalileo, Smoothie, and Amande, leaving her seriously injured and hospitalized. 71 84 85

After Noah's early graduation, Gion publicly confessed her love for him at his rank-conferment ceremony. Their relationship became openly romantic, and Marine Headquarters later assigned them together as the Base Commander and Vice Base Commander of the West Blue First Branch. 162 165 172

A second body swap between Gion and Noah occurred through the Beaver-Cat's lingering resentment event. Gion awoke in Noah's body and was forced to confront the extent of his hidden relationships, while Noah defended her ship in her body. The two continued fighting through one another's bodies during the G-1 War before returning to normal. 252 253 258 259 260

Appearance

Gion is a tall, long-legged woman with an elegant but imposing presence. She wears a white Marine justice coat over pale-pink-accented clothing and carries a notably long, narrow sword. 12

• Beautiful features and calm, peach-colored eyes. 12 37
• Pale-pink epaulets, cuffs, dress accents, and cherry-pink lipstick. 12 20
• Long black hair and a slender, athletic build. 17 38 136
• Her height is comparable to Kuzan's while Noxia inhabits her body. 17
• Associated with a serene gardenia-like fragrance. 17 252
• Temporarily wore round black glasses after an earlier head injury affected her eyesight; her vision later recovered. 84
• Her public image among the Marines is that of an untouchable, graceful “ice queen” and valkyrie. 172

Personality

Gion is approachable and encouraging when instructing Marines, tailoring sparring guidance to individual strengths and weaknesses. Her skill and lack of arrogance have made her highly admired among younger Marines. 14 22

She is also teasing, self-assured, and willing to needle Kuzan by calling him “little Kuzan” despite his higher rank and age. 12 17 In stressful situations, she remains practical: she quickly accepts the body-swap crisis, delegates her mission when necessary, and offers Noxia meaningful compensation for his success. 17 18 32

Despite her composure, Gion is sensitive about hygiene and uncomfortable with the physical inconveniences of inhabiting Noxia's body. 19 20 31

As a commander, Gion is decisive, diligent, and highly protective of her subordinates. While serving as West Blue First Branch's Base Commander, she repeatedly led dangerous operations personally when her officers could not reliably handle them, even at the cost of her own rest. 172

Beneath her authoritative public persona, Gion is affectionate, playful, and prone to jealousy around Noah. Her care for him is especially apparent when she reacts urgently to threats against him or insists on tending to his injuries. 71 152 172 188

Rokushiki

Gion possesses Advanced Rokushiki and can use its techniques with enough power that Noxia struggles to control them while inhabiting her body. 14 21

• Uses Rankyaku capable of gouging an iron-plated wall. 14
• Uses Soru to vanish from an opponent's sight during training. 14
• Her body allows Noxia's poorly controlled Rankyaku to blast through an iron wall. 21
• Noxia also accidentally launches himself hundreds of meters skyward while attempting Geppo in her body. 21

Swordsmanship

Gion is an Advanced One-Sword Style practitioner whose understanding of swordsmanship allows her to identify flaws in Noxia's dual-wielding techniques and clarify concepts that had long hindered him. 14 20 21

• Provided Noxia three days of intensive one-on-one sword instruction. 20 21
• Corrected his techniques and explained deeper principles of the sword. 21
• Is regarded by Noxia as one of the Marines' foremost swordsmen. 20
• Held an advantage over Smoothie in their G-7 encounter before other high-level Big Mom Pirates joined the battle. 84 85
• As an Admiral Candidate, she personally confronts King during the Summit War. 431

Haki

Gion has Intermediate Observation Haki and Advanced Armament Haki. 14

• Criticizes Noxia for failing to notice her presence, attributing it to his lack of Observation Haki. 38
• Her Armament Haki and combat judgment allow her to endure prolonged exchanges against Plague Sena while controlling Noah's body, though she is eventually pressured by Sena's transformed strength. 258

Float-Float Fruit

Gion possesses the Float-Float Fruit, which allows her to remove gravity from objects and control their movement. 278 284 431

• Can lift and redirect objects from a distance, though her early control was limited to relatively small targets. 284
• Can keep a speedboat airborne and maneuver it at extreme heights and speeds. 278
• Uses the fruit's mobility to pursue Imu into outer space alongside Fujitora. 444

Marksmanship

Gion possesses Intermediate Marksmanship. 14

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Kotpira / Kompira — Gion's slender personal sword, one of the Wazamono 21. She lends it to Noxia during the body swap for his three-day training period, then accepts its return before he resumes the combat assessment. 20 38 252
• Marine justice coat — White coat with pale-pink epaulets, matching her uniform's pink accents. 12 20
• Round black glasses — A pair she retained after recovering from a temporary vision impairment caused by a head injury. 84

Relationships

• Romanov Noah / Noxia — Temporarily swaps bodies with him through the Beaver-Cat's Devil Fruit ability. She trains him in swordsmanship and Rokushiki, entrusts him with her Shizi mission, and later promises him a future reward for completing it. 17 20 21 32 Their bond develops into a romantic relationship, which Gion publicly confirms through her confession at Noah's ceremony. They later serve together in West Blue and are married by the Summit War. 162 165 172 431 Their second body swap forces Gion to discover Noah's other relationships and causes significant emotional strain between them. 252 253 256
• Kuzan — Fellow Headquarters officer traveling with the Elite Training Camp mission. Their dynamic is casual and teasing; Gion regularly calls him “little Kuzan.” 12 17 He remains concerned for her during Noah's later crises and supports her pursuit of Imu. 188 444
• Rear Admiral Shizi — A close friend of Gion's sister who watched Gion grow up. Gion is tasked with persuading her to return to Headquarters. 19
• Tsuru — A senior Marine who supports Gion and Noah's future together, persuading Kong to arrange their appointments to the West Blue First Branch. 152 165
• Tokikake / Tokikake — A longtime colleague and persistent former suitor whose repeated confessions once irritated Gion. After she confirmed her relationship with Noah, he moderated his behavior and rebuilt a friendship with her. 13 224
• Bell-mère — One of Noah's other partners. Bell-mère rescues Gion during the G-1 War despite overwhelming danger, while Gion later shields Bell-mère from Noah's concern as part of their continuing marital-conflict act. 253 256 259
• Shiya — Notices Noxia looking at Gion and reacts with jealousy; Gion recognizes the tension with amused interest. 13 Shiya's later revelation as another of Noah's partners becomes part of Gion's confrontation with Noah's concealed relationships. 253
• Martha — Gion's longtime adjutant, who serves under her at the West Blue First Branch and is familiar with her normally calm command style. 83 188
• Female Marines — Gion conducts popular one-on-one sparring sessions for them, offering individualized instruction and encouragement. 14
• Colonel Bako — Treats Gion with excessive deference due to her fame when Noxia visits Branch 329 in her body. 22

Story Role / Major Arcs

West Blue Voyage

Gion accompanies Kuzan and the Elite Training Camp recruits aboard their West Blue-bound warship, while maintaining that she is not an examiner for their practical assessment. 12 13 She trains female Marines during the voyage and demonstrates why she is so popular among younger personnel. 14

Beaver-Cat Body Swap

After investigating the Beaver-Cats' transformation ability, Gion and Noxia are touched by the Swap-Swap Fruit user and lose consciousness. 16 They awaken in one another's bodies; Gion quickly verifies Noxia's deduction about the Devil Fruit and works with Kuzan to establish that the reversal will take time. 17

Noxia's Training and the Shizi Mission

Gion offers Noxia three days of intensive training as compensation for his missed assessment, lending him Kotpira and harshly correcting his Rokushiki fundamentals. 20 21 She then sends him, in her body, to meet Shizi at Gulu Island. 18 19

Although the body swap reverses before Gion can receive the result directly, Noxia contacts her to confirm Shizi's decision to return to Marineford. Gion accepts that she owes him a reward. 31 32

Return to the Practical Assessment

Gion remains near the battlefield as the recruits' assessment on Citrus Island continues. She reunites with Noxia after his return, retrieves Kotpira when he chooses to fight with his own dual swords, and directs him toward Kuzan's observation post. 37 38

G-7 Incident and Noah's Graduation

Gion returns from a New World mission injured after the G-7 Branch's defeat. Noah visits her during her recovery, learns the identities of the pirates responsible, and resolves to remember them. 71 84 85

She later remains close to Noah during his graduation assessment and learns that Headquarters has canceled her prospective G-1 transfer. Tsuru's intervention keeps Gion at Marineford until Noah's commissioning, enabling their relationship to progress. 152 160

At Noah's rank-conferment ceremony, Gion publicly confesses that she has loved him since their first West Blue meeting and asks him to remain with her for the rest of their lives. 162

West Blue First Branch Command

Gion is appointed Rear Admiral Base Commander of the West Blue First Branch, while Noah is appointed her Vice Base Commander. The arrangement allows the couple to serve together and was facilitated by Tsuru and Kong. 165

In Noah's delayed absence, Gion personally handles repeated major operations and earns unmatched prestige among the branch personnel. When Branch 329 is attacked by the White Dove Pirates and Explosion Pirates, she immediately mobilizes three warships and over a thousand Marines to reinforce it. 172

Float-Float Fruit Development

After gaining the Float-Float Fruit, Gion begins exploring its applications with help from Fujitora's experience with the similar Press-Press Fruit. 278 285 She quickly learns to lift and remotely redirect objects, and later demonstrates greater control through airborne travel. 278 284

Second Body Swap and the G-1 War

The Beaver-Cat's resentment triggers a second exchange between Gion and Noah, placing Gion in Noah's body at Marineford while Noah occupies hers aboard her warship. 252 Gion discovers Bell-mère and Shiya's relationships with Noah, leaving her hurt and furious at his deception. 252 253

The swap continues into the war at G-1 against the Beasts Pirates. Using Noah's body, Gion fights Plague Sena and survives repeated attacks through Noah's exceptional durability and regeneration. 258 After Big Mom's intervention turns the battlefield into chaos, she is saved by Bell-mère and Noah, who risks his life while controlling Gion's body to protect them. 259

The pair eventually return to their own bodies. Gion immediately retrieves Noah's swords and returns them to him, allowing him to kill Famine Yano and reverse the battle's momentum. 260

Admiral Candidate and Summit War

Gion rises to become one of Marine Headquarters' Admiral Candidates alongside Kizaru and Tokikake. 427 During the Summit War, she confronts King, helping prevent the Beasts Pirates from breaking through the Giants' defensive line. 431

When the Marines openly rebel against the World Government, Gion joins Noah and the other senior officers in the assault on the Holy Land. 442 443 After Noah's apparent disappearance during the battle with Imu, she refuses to accept his death without seeing proof and uses the Float-Float Fruit to pursue Imu into outer space alongside Fujitora. 444

Trivia

• Gion's fame is strong enough that Marines at Branch 329 crowd around simply to see her when Noxia arrives in her body. 22
• She initially trains only female Marines because her close-contact instruction involves substantial physical contact. 14 15
• Noxia's system displays an ambiguous note concerning Gion's preferences, but he later concludes that she is not someone who would misuse another person's body. 15 23
• Her first body swap with Noah made later physical closeness and shared food feel unusually natural to the two of them. 84
• Gion's Float-Float Fruit lets her turn an ordinary speedboat into a highly unstable airborne ride, which she uses to frighten Bell-mère, Shiya, and Sadaharu for amusement. 278
