The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the real showdown isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a cherished, popular member has recently been selected.

The platform declared Tuesday that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bentham. Bon Clay has the ability to transform into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve touched with their dominant hand. The actor, who is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure reinterpreted as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action show, as in the source material and anime.

Escola is joined by several other recently announced actors tasked with bringing the organization to life, such as leader Mr. 0, played by Joe Manganiello, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of the fictional land.

Although Bon Clay is a major member of the group, the character will be introduced in One Piece the third season. Given the next season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this marks a significant shift in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could indicate additional alterations to the story’s structure.

Their mix of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the part. Along with their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.

The platform’s adapted One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
