Baroque Works is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the major clash won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has just been cast.

The platform declared recently that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bentham. The role has the ability to transform into an exact copy of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a rendition of that figure reimagined as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the original manga and animated series.

This performer joins a number of recently announced actors tasked with bringing the organization to the screen, including leader the main antagonist, brought to life by the well-known actor, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the cast as the ruler of Alabasta.

Even though the role is a important part of the organization, the character won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. Given the second season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this represents a significant shift in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest further changes to the story’s structure.

Their mix of precise humor 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 earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is set to return for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
