Baroque Works is geared up to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the major clash won’t unfold until the third season, and a cherished, popular member has just been cast.

The platform declared this week that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay can use their power to change into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their dominant hand. The actor, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that role reimagined as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action series, as in the source material and animated series.

This performer joins several other fresh additions tasked with bringing Baroque Works to reality, featuring leader Mr. 0, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who also joins the lineup as the ruler of Alabasta.

Even though this character is a important part of the group, the character will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Considering the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this represents a major departure in the timing of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the plot development.

Their mix of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the character. In addition to their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, highlighting the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is set to return for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
