Baroque Works is geared up to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the major clash won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.

The platform declared this week that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay can use their power to transform into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve touched with their main hand. The actor, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a rendition of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the initial comic and cartoon version.

This performer is joined by a number of new cast members tasked with bringing the organization to life, featuring chief Sir Crocodile, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of Alabasta.

Even though the role is a major member of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a major departure in the timing of their first appearance, one that could indicate more adjustments to the story’s structure.

Escola’s blend of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the role. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
