The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Performer for Bentham in One Piece Third Season
The Secret Organization is poised to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until the third season, and a cherished, popular member has now been chosen.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bon Clay. Bon Clay can use their power to change into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a version of that role reimagined as non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action show, as in the original manga and animated series.
The new cast member is joined by several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the group to reality, featuring chief Sir Crocodile, portrayed by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and a familiar face, who is also part of the ensemble as the monarch of Alabasta.
Even though the role is a major member of Baroque Works, the persona will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Considering season 2 set to cover the Little Garden segment, this represents a major departure in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could signal additional alterations to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth 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 penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its season two on March 10, 2026.
