Baroque Works is poised to exert significant influence in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t unfold until season 3, and a adored, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.

The platform declared recently that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bentham. This character has the ability to change into an exact copy of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. The performer, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will portray a interpretation of that role reimagined as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag artist, in the live-action show, as in the initial comic and animated series.

The new cast member joins multiple new cast members set to bring the group to life, such as leader Mr. 0, portrayed by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and a familiar face, who is also part of the lineup as the ruler of Alabasta.

Even though the role is a important part of the organization, the character won’t appear until One Piece the upcoming installment. Given the second season likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this represents a major departure in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate more adjustments to the narrative framework.

Their mix of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the part. In addition to their recent voice performance in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.

Netflix's live-action One Piece program is scheduled to come back for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
