Baroque Works is poised to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until the next season, and a beloved, fan-favorite member has just been cast.

The streaming service revealed recently that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Mr. 2. Bon Clay has the ability to change into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve made contact with with their right hand. The actor, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a version of that character re-envisioned as non-binary, instead of as a drag artist, in the live-action show, unlike the initial comic and cartoon version.

The new cast member is joined by several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to the screen, including leader Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, a talented actress as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of Alabasta.

Although Bon Clay is a major member of the group, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Considering the next season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this signals a notable change in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could indicate more adjustments to the narrative framework.

Their mix of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the part. Besides their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.

The platform’s adapted One Piece program is due to premiere for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
