Baroque Works is poised to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the major clash isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a adored, popular member has recently been selected.

The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup 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 prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a version of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag artist, in the live-action series, unlike the original manga and animated series.

The new cast member will work alongside a number of new cast members set to bring Baroque Works to life, featuring leader Mr. 0, brought to life by the well-known actor, an emerging star as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of the desert kingdom.

Even though Bon Clay is a major member of the organization, the individual won’t appear until One Piece the third season. Given the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this represents a significant shift in the placement of their first appearance, one that could indicate more adjustments to the narrative framework.

The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the role. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised figures.

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