Baroque Works is geared up to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.

Netflix announced Tuesday that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Mr. 2. Bon Clay has the ability to change into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their main hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that figure re-envisioned as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the initial comic and anime.

This performer joins a number of new cast members tasked with bringing the organization to life, such as leader Sir Crocodile, played by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who also joins the lineup as the monarch of the fictional land.

Although this character is a important part of Baroque Works, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the third season. Considering the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this marks a notable change in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could indicate more adjustments to the plot development.

Escola’s blend of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the character. Along with their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.

Netflix's live-action One Piece show is due to premiere for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
