The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until season 3, and a adored, popular member has just been cast.

The streaming service revealed this week that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Bon Clay. The role has the ability to morph into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve touched with their dominant hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that role re-envisioned as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the original manga and animated series.

Escola joins multiple recently announced actors tasked with bringing the organization to reality, featuring head Mr. 0, played by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and a familiar face, who will appear as the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.

Even though this character is a key figure of the group, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this represents a major departure in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could signal further changes to the story’s structure.

Their mix of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the part. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.

The platform’s adapted One Piece program is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
