The Streaming Giant Selects Perfect Performer for Mr. 2 in One Piece Upcoming Installment

The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the major clash isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has just been cast.

Netflix announced recently that Cole Escola has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bon Clay. This character can use their power to change into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The actor, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a rendition of that character re-envisioned as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the live-action show, unlike the original manga and cartoon version.

The new cast member will work alongside a number of fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to reality, featuring chief Sir Crocodile, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and a familiar face, who also joins the ensemble as the ruler of the fictional land.

Though the role is a key figure of the organization, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a significant shift in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal additional alterations to the narrative framework.

Their mix of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the character. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.

The platform’s adapted One Piece series is set to return for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
