Netflix Selects Perfect Performer for Bon Clay in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the true confrontation won’t unfold until the third season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The platform declared this week that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Mr. 2. The role possesses the power to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. Escola, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a version of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action series, unlike the initial comic and cartoon version.
This performer is joined by a number of fresh additions tasked with bringing the group to life, including leader Mr. 0, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as a key member, and a familiar face, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Even though this character is a major member of Baroque Works, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this marks a notable change in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal additional alterations to the story’s structure.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the part. Besides their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The platform’s adapted One Piece show is due to premiere for its second season on March 10, 2026.
