The Streaming Giant Selects Spot-On Star for Bon Clay in One Piece Third Season

Baroque Works is set to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the major clash isn’t set to occur until the third season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has just been cast.

The platform declared this week that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bentham. This character can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The actor, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will play a version of that character reimagined as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag artist, in the live-action show, as in the initial comic and cartoon version.

The new cast member is joined by several other recently announced actors set to bring the group to life, featuring head Mr. 0, played by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who is also part of the cast as the ruler of the fictional land.

Even though Bon Clay is a important part of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the third season. Given the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this signals a major departure in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could signal further changes to the story’s structure.

Their mix of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a standout choice for the character. Along with their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.

The platform’s adapted One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its season two on March 10th, 2026.
