The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t unfold until the third season, and a beloved, popular member has just been cast.
The platform declared recently that Cole Escola has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bentham. The role can use their power to morph into an exact copy of anyone they’ve touched with their right hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will portray a rendition of that character reimagined as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the source material and animated series.
This performer will work alongside multiple fresh additions tasked with bringing the group to reality, featuring leader Sir Crocodile, brought to life by the well-known actor, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the ensemble as the ruler of the desert kingdom.
Though Bon Clay is a important part of Baroque Works, the individual will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Considering season 2 set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this represents a notable change in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest more adjustments to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the character. Along with their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.
Netflix's live-action One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
