Netflix Chooses Spot-On Actor for Bentham in One Piece Upcoming Installment

The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the real showdown won’t unfold until the next season, and a cherished, popular member has just been cast.

The platform declared recently that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay can use their power to change into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve touched with their right hand. Escola, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will portray a interpretation of that character re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the source material and animated series.

This performer is joined by several other fresh additions who will portray Baroque Works to life, such as chief Sir Crocodile, portrayed by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the lineup as the monarch of Alabasta.

Even though Bon Clay is a important part of the organization, the persona will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this represents a major departure in the placement of their first appearance, one that could signal further changes to the plot development.

Their mix of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a standout choice for the part. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10, 2026.
