Baroque Works is set to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the major clash won’t take place until season 3, and a cherished, popular member has now been chosen.

The platform declared Tuesday that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bon Clay. The role has the ability to morph into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The performer, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that character re-envisioned as non-binary, rather than as a drag queen, in the live-action show, unlike the initial comic and animated series.

This performer will work alongside multiple new cast members who will portray the group to life, featuring head Mr. 0, played by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as the ruler of the fictional land.

Even though the role is a important part of the organization, the individual won’t appear until One Piece season 3. With the second season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this marks a notable change in the placement of their first appearance, one that could indicate more adjustments to the story’s structure.

The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the role. Along with their recent voice performance in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.

The platform’s adapted One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
