The Streaming Giant Chooses Spot-On Star for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the major clash won’t take place until the third season, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
The platform declared Tuesday that the talented performer has joined the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bon Clay. The role possesses the power to morph into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a version of that figure reimagined as non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action show, differing from the original manga and animated series.
Escola is joined by multiple fresh additions who will portray Baroque Works to life, including chief Mr. 0, played by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who will appear as the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Even though this character is a major member of Baroque Works, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the next season likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this represents a notable change in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could signal additional alterations to the plot development.
Their mix of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the part. Besides their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
