The Streaming Giant Selects Spot-On Star for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is poised to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the major clash isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed this week that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bentham. This character possesses the power to transform into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their main hand. Escola, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that role reinterpreted as non-binary, rather than as a drag artist, in the live-action show, unlike the original manga and animated series.
This performer will work alongside several other fresh additions tasked with bringing Baroque Works to the screen, such as chief Sir Crocodile, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the cast as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Though this character is a important part of the group, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the third season. With season 2 set to cover the Little Garden arc, this marks a significant shift in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could suggest further changes to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the role. Besides their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
Netflix's live-action One Piece program is due to premiere for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
