The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the major clash won’t unfold until the next season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.

The streaming service revealed this week that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bon Clay. The role has the ability to morph into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a rendition of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the live-action show, as in the initial comic and animated series.

The new cast member will work alongside several other fresh additions who will portray Baroque Works to the screen, including leader Mr. 0, played by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the cast as the monarch of the fictional land.

Even though this character is a major member of Baroque Works, the character won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. With the next season set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this signals a significant shift in the placement of their first appearance, one that could indicate additional alterations to the story’s structure.

Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the role. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.

Netflix's live-action One Piece program is set to return for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
