The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the major clash won’t unfold until season 3, and a beloved, fan-favorite member has just been cast.

The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bon Clay. Bon Clay possesses the power to change into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a rendition of that figure reimagined as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action series, unlike the initial comic and cartoon version.

This performer joins several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the group to life, such as leader the main antagonist, played by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of the desert kingdom.

Although this character is a important part of Baroque Works, the individual will be introduced in One Piece season 3. With the second season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this signals a notable change in the placement of their first appearance, one that could indicate additional alterations to the narrative framework.

Their mix of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the part. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
