Gion

Biodata

History

Gion went to the Flower Country on a secret assignment from Vice Admiral Tsuru to investigate strangely behaved drifters who appeared to be immortal. At the Abundant Hostess tavern, she introduced herself to Adrian as “Tao Zhi”; he answered with the alias “Tao Ya.” Their conversation turned flirtatious, though Adrian recognized who she was 16 17.

When Adrian fought members of the Second Treasure Navy, Gion watched from the shadows. His speed, Hollow-Hollow Fruit abilities, and defeat of Hog convinced her that he could become a valuable Marine recruit. She invited him to travel with her, but he declined 17 18.

They met again in Loguetown before Roger’s execution. Gion revealed her rank and tried to recruit Adrian directly; he abruptly left after spotting other people in the crowd, leaving her hurt and angry. Tsuru subsequently ordered Gion to watch him during the execution. Afterward, Gion accompanied him to investigate the surviving Gecko Moria and witnessed Adrian defeat him 31 32 33 34.

• Wears pink heels, black stockings, and black denim shorts during her Loguetown meeting with Adrian 31.
• Wears a white Marine Justice Coat while on duty at Roger’s execution 33.

Personality

Gion meets Adrian’s teasing with composed humor, although his unusually direct flirtation initially surprises her. In Loguetown, she briefly blushes during their banter, then regains her professional poise when she approaches the subject of Marine recruitment 16 31 32.

She takes Tsuru’s assignments seriously even when they put her in an uncomfortable position. Still upset with Adrian, she accepts the order to monitor him and is privately relieved when he stays nearby 33.
