The Secret Organization is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the major clash isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.

The platform declared Tuesday that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay possesses the power to change into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a version of that character reimagined as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag queen, in the live-action series, as in the original manga and animated series.

This performer is joined by a number of fresh additions set to bring the organization to life, featuring head Mr. 0, portrayed by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the ensemble as the ruler of Alabasta.

Even though the role is a important part of Baroque Works, the character will be introduced in One Piece the third season. Given the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this marks a significant shift in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate further changes to the story’s structure.

Their mix of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the character. In addition to their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.

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