Baroque Works is geared up to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until season 3, and a adored, popular member has just been cast.

Netflix announced Tuesday that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bon Clay. This character possesses the power to change into an exact copy of any individual they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a rendition of that role re-envisioned as non-binary, rather than as a drag artist, in the real-life adaptation, differing from the source material and animated series.

This performer will work alongside a number of recently announced actors set to bring the organization to the screen, such as chief Sir Crocodile, brought to life by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and a familiar face, who also joins the lineup as the monarch of the desert kingdom.

Although the role is a key figure of the group, the persona will be introduced in One Piece season 3. With the second season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this represents a notable change in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could suggest more adjustments to the narrative framework.

The actor’s combination of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the role. In addition to their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.

Netflix's live-action One Piece program is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
