Netflix Chooses Ideal Performer for Bentham in One Piece Season 3

The Secret Organization is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the major clash isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.

The platform declared Tuesday that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bon Clay. Bon Clay has the ability to transform into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The performer, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a version of that figure reinterpreted as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, as in the original manga and anime.

Escola joins a number of fresh additions set to bring the organization to the screen, including leader Sir Crocodile, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of the fictional land.

Although this character is a important part of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the next season likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this represents a significant shift in the placement of their first appearance, one that could indicate further changes to the plot development.

The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the role. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.

The platform’s adapted One Piece program is due to premiere for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
