Baroque Works is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the real showdown won’t unfold until the third season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has just been cast.

The platform declared recently that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bon Clay. This character has the ability to morph into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a interpretation of that character reinterpreted as non-binary, as opposed to as a drag performer, in the live-action series, as in the original manga and anime.

This performer will work alongside several other fresh additions who will portray the organization to the screen, featuring leader the main antagonist, played by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the cast as the monarch of the desert kingdom.

Although this character is a key figure of the organization, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. Given the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this represents a significant shift in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could suggest additional alterations to the story’s structure.

Their mix of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the character. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.

The platform’s adapted One Piece show is set to return for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
