Netflix Chooses Perfect Performer for Mr. 2 in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the major clash won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The platform declared Tuesday that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will embody Bon Clay. This character possesses the power to change into an perfect replica of any person they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will play a version of that character reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, as in the source material and animated series.
The new cast member is joined by multiple fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to reality, including leader Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the lineup as the monarch of Alabasta.
Although the role is a key figure of Baroque Works, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the third season. Considering season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this signals a notable change in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could suggest additional alterations to the narrative framework.
Their mix of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the part. Besides their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and multiple awards for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is set to return for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
