Baroque Works is geared up to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.

The platform declared recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bon Clay. This character can use their power to change into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve touched with their right hand. The performer, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will portray a version of that role reimagined as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the source material and anime.

Escola is joined by several other fresh additions who will portray the group to life, such as leader Mr. 0, played by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as another operative, and a familiar face, who also joins the lineup as the ruler of the desert kingdom.

Even though this character is a important part of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the second season set to cover the Little Garden arc, this represents a major departure in the placement of their first appearance, one that could indicate more adjustments to the story’s structure.

The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the role. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.

Netflix's live-action One Piece series is set to return for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
