The Streaming Giant Selects Perfect Performer for Mr. 2 in One Piece Season 3
Baroque Works is poised to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the real showdown won’t unfold until season 3, and a adored, popular member has just been cast.
The platform declared recently that Cole Escola is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Mr. 2. Bon Clay possesses the power to transform into an exact copy of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will depict a rendition of that figure reimagined as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, as in the source material and animated series.
The new cast member joins a number of fresh additions who will portray the organization to the screen, such as leader the main antagonist, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and a familiar face, who also joins the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Though the role is a major member of Baroque Works, the persona will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Considering season 2 set to cover the Little Garden segment, this marks a notable change in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could suggest more adjustments to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and deep sensitivity makes them a ideal selection for the part.

The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
