The Streaming Giant Casts Spot-On Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Third Season

The Secret Organization is geared up to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.

Netflix announced recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bon Clay. Bon Clay can use their power to change into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. Escola, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that character re-envisioned as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the original manga and anime.

This performer is joined by a number of recently announced actors who will portray Baroque Works to life, featuring chief the main antagonist, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as a key member, and a familiar face, who will appear as the ensemble as the ruler of the fictional land.

Though this character is a major member of the group, the character will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering season 2 set to cover the Little Garden segment, this signals a major departure in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could suggest more adjustments to the narrative framework.

Their mix of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the character. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.

Netflix's live-action One Piece program is set to return for its second season on March 10, 2026.
