The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Actor for Mr. 2 in One Piece Third Season
Baroque Works is set to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until season 3, and a adored, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed recently that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay possesses the power to morph into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that role reimagined as non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, as in the initial comic and anime.
This performer joins several other recently announced actors who will portray the group to the screen, such as leader Mr. 0, played by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of the fictional land.
Although Bon Clay is a key figure of Baroque Works, the persona will be introduced in One Piece season 3. With season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this marks a notable change in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could signal more adjustments to the narrative framework.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the part. Besides their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
