The Streaming Giant Casts Spot-On Performer for Mr. 2 in One Piece Season 3
The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the major clash won’t take place until season 3, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that Cole Escola has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay has the ability to transform into an identical duplicate of any individual they’ve made contact with with their main hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure reimagined as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, as in the original manga and anime.
The new cast member joins multiple fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to reality, featuring head Sir Crocodile, portrayed by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as a key member, and a familiar face, who is also part of the lineup as the monarch of Alabasta.
Although this character is a major member of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Given the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this marks a notable change in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could indicate additional alterations to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the role. Besides their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
