The Secret Organization is geared up to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the major clash isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a adored, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.

The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bentham. Bon Clay has the ability to change into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve touched with their dominant hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that role re-envisioned as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the live-action series, differing from the source material and cartoon version.

The new cast member joins several other recently announced actors set to bring Baroque Works to the screen, including leader Mr. 0, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of the fictional land.

Although Bon Clay is a key figure of the organization, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. Considering season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a significant shift in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could suggest further changes to the plot development.

Their mix of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the character. In addition to their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.

The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
