The Streaming Giant Selects Perfect Performer for Bon Clay in One Piece Third Season

Baroque Works is geared up to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t take place until the third season, and a adored, popular member has just been cast.

The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bon Clay. This character possesses the power to change into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their main hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a version of that role reinterpreted as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the live-action series, as in the original manga and cartoon version.

The new cast member joins several other recently announced actors set to bring the group to life, such as leader Mr. 0, portrayed by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.

Although the role is a major member of the organization, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the next season set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this marks a significant shift in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal further changes to the narrative framework.

Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the character. Along with their recent voice performance in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and several accolades for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.

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