The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Performer for Mr. 2 in One Piece Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.
The platform declared Tuesday that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bon Clay. The role has the ability to transform into an exact copy of any person they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The actor, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a version of that character re-envisioned as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action series, differing from the original manga and animated series.
Escola will work alongside several other recently announced actors tasked with bringing Baroque Works to life, such as chief Sir Crocodile, brought to life by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and a familiar face, who is also part of the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.
Though the role is a key figure of the group, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. With season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this represents a major departure in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could suggest additional alterations to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the character. Besides their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
Netflix's live-action One Piece series is due to premiere for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
