The Streaming Giant Selects Perfect Star for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Third Season

The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until the third season, and a beloved, popular member has just been cast.

The platform declared recently that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bon Clay. This character can use their power to change into an exact copy of any individual they’ve made contact with with their right hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that character reinterpreted as non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the source material and animated series.

Escola joins multiple recently announced actors who will portray the organization to reality, featuring leader Sir Crocodile, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.

Though the role is a key figure of the group, the persona will be introduced in One Piece the third season. With season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this signals a notable change in the timing of their first appearance, one that could signal further changes to the narrative framework.

Their mix of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the part. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing 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 season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
