The Secret Organization is set to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t take place until season 3, and a adored, audience-beloved member has now been chosen.

Netflix announced this week that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Mr. 2. The role can use their power to transform into an perfect replica of any person they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and goes by they/them, will portray a version of that role re-envisioned as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the live-action show, unlike the original manga and cartoon version.

This performer is joined by several other new cast members who will portray the group to the screen, including head the main antagonist, portrayed by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who will appear as the cast as the monarch of the desert kingdom.

Even though the role is a key figure of the organization, the character won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. With the next season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this signals a major departure in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest further changes to the plot development.

Escola’s blend of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a perfect fit for the role. Besides their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.

The platform’s adapted One Piece show is set to return for its second season on March 10, 2026.
