Netflix Chooses Ideal Actor for Bon Clay in One Piece Third Season

The Secret Organization is geared up to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t take place until the next season, and a adored, popular member has now been chosen.

The streaming service revealed recently that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Mr. 2. The role possesses the power to morph into an exact copy of anyone they’ve touched with their right hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that figure reimagined as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the source material and animated series.

Escola joins a number of recently announced actors who will portray Baroque Works to reality, such as head the main antagonist, portrayed by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who also joins the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.

Although this character is a major member of the organization, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Given season 2 set to cover the Little Garden arc, this signals a notable change in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could signal additional alterations to the plot development.

Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit 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!, highlighting the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
