The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the major clash won’t unfold until season 3, and a beloved, popular member has just been cast.

Netflix announced recently that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bentham. Bon Clay possesses the power to transform into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The actor, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that character reinterpreted as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, as in the source material and animated series.

The new cast member joins several other recently announced actors who will portray the group to reality, including head Mr. 0, brought to life by the well-known actor, an emerging star as a key member, and a familiar face, who will appear as the cast as the ruler of the desert kingdom.

Though this character is a key figure of the group, the persona won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this represents a major departure in the placement of their first appearance, one that could suggest more adjustments to the story’s structure.

Their mix of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the part. In addition to their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.

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