Baroque Works is poised to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a cherished, popular member has now been chosen.

The platform declared this week that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bon Clay. This character can use their power to change into an exact copy of any individual they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The performer, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a interpretation of that character reinterpreted as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action series, as in the original manga and animated series.

This performer will work alongside several other new cast members who will portray the organization to reality, such as chief Sir Crocodile, portrayed by the well-known actor, a talented actress as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the ensemble as the ruler of the fictional land.

Though the role is a important part of the group, the persona won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Given season 2 set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this marks a notable change in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could suggest further changes to the plot development.

The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the part. Besides their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is set to return for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
