Netflix Chooses Spot-On Star for Mr. 2 in One Piece Third Season
The Secret Organization is geared up to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a adored, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Bentham. Bon Clay can use their power to transform into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve touched with their right hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that figure reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action show, unlike the initial comic and animated series.
Escola joins multiple new cast members set to bring the organization to life, including head Mr. 0, played by the well-known actor, a talented actress as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the cast as the monarch of the fictional land.
Even though the role is a key figure of Baroque Works, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. With the next season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this represents a notable change in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest additional alterations to the story’s structure.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the part. Besides their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
