History
As a Marine vice admiral and admiral candidate, Gion supported maintaining friendly relations with Luo Wen after he defeated Aokiji. She later waited along his route to meet him. At their first meeting, she handled the bounties on his captives and was startled to learn that the Warlord Moria had joined him 74 81 82.
Gion served alongside Tokikake on a Buster Call warship. Luo Wen boarded it and abducted her after an attack that killed two Celestial Dragons was attributed to their operation. The World Government placed a 3 billion Beli bounty on Gion. Though she did not blame Sengoku for the decision, she was disillusioned with the government and chose to follow Luo Wen 105 108.
Aboard Luo Wen’s ship, Gion contributed her Marine knowledge and contacts. She warned of the implications of Caesar Clown’s artificial Devil Fruit production and contacted the G-5 Branch about children abducted for experiments on Punk Hazard. After the branch’s Marines joined Luo Wen, she helped organize them. She also lost a wager about what Punk Hazard contained, after which her relationship with Luo Wen became romantic 152 155 158 168.
When Luo Wen established the Neo Marines, Gion became their first admiral. She and Hina managed much of the organization’s development, while Gion also led pirate-clearing operations around Dressrosa. Angered by Whitebeard Jr.’s appointment as a Warlord despite his attack on Zephyr and Marine trainees, she worked with Luo Wen to recruit Zephyr and other officers 185 192 244 248.
Luo Wen later gave Gion the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. She joined Aokiji, Kizaru, and Karp in the Neo Marines’ North Blue campaign, using lightning to incapacitate thousands of Germa soldiers. In a later battle, she used the fruit’s electrical and heat-based power to melt Admiral Ulter’s iron spear and numb his steel body 264 360 361 394.
Appearance
Gion is described as having a dignified, valiant appearance and sharp eyes. She continues to wear a uniform as a Neo Marines admiral 168 264.
Personality
Gion is attentive to discrepancies in military operations: she questions why an admiral has been deployed alongside a Buster Call and quickly grasps the wider danger of mass-produced Devil Fruits. She remains loyal to former comrades such as Sengoku and Tsuru while openly condemning the World Government’s treatment of Marine officers 99 108 155 244.
She takes her Neo Marines duties seriously, although Luo Wen’s growing demands strain her workload. With him, she also shows a teasing and occasionally shy side 168 185 192.
