The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the true confrontation isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has just been cast.

The streaming service revealed recently that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bentham. Bon Clay has the ability to change into an exact copy of any person they’ve made contact with with their right hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will portray a interpretation of that character reinterpreted as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, as in the initial comic and animated series.

Escola is joined by a number of recently announced actors tasked with bringing Baroque Works to reality, including chief Sir Crocodile, played by the well-known actor, an emerging star as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.

Although this character is a important part of the group, the persona won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Given the next season set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this marks a significant shift in the placement of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the plot development.

Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the role. Besides their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.

The platform’s adapted One Piece show is set to return for its second season on March 10, 2026.
