The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the major clash won’t take place until the third season, and a cherished, popular member has now been chosen.

Netflix announced this week that Cole Escola has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bentham. This character possesses the power to change into an exact copy of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that figure reimagined as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the initial comic and animated series.

This performer will work alongside several other recently announced actors who will portray Baroque Works to life, including chief Sir Crocodile, played by the well-known actor, an emerging star as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the cast as the ruler of the fictional land.

Although Bon Clay is a major member of the organization, the individual won’t appear until One Piece season 3. With the second season set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this signals a notable change in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate further changes to the story’s structure.

Their mix of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the character. Besides their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.

The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
