The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t take place until the next season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.

Netflix announced this week that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a rendition of that character re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action show, unlike the original manga and cartoon version.

Escola will work alongside a number of recently announced actors tasked with bringing the group to the screen, such as leader Mr. 0, brought to life by the well-known actor, an emerging star as another operative, and a familiar face, who is also part of the cast as the monarch of the desert kingdom.

Though the role is a major member of the group, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this marks a major departure in the placement of their first appearance, one that could signal more adjustments to the narrative framework.

Their mix of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the part. In addition to their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.

The platform’s adapted One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
