The Secret Organization is geared up to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the major clash isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a cherished, popular member has now been chosen.

The platform declared Tuesday that Cole Escola has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bentham. The role has the ability to change into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure reimagined as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action series, as in the initial comic and cartoon version.

Escola joins several other fresh additions tasked with bringing Baroque Works to life, such as chief Mr. 0, played by the well-known actor, a talented actress as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of Alabasta.

Though Bon Clay is a key figure of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the third season. Considering the second season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this marks a significant shift in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate more adjustments to the story’s structure.

Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the character. In addition to their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.

The platform’s adapted One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
