The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, even if the true confrontation won’t unfold until season 3, and a beloved, popular member has recently been selected.

The platform declared Tuesday that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Bentham. This character can use their power to change into an exact copy of any person they’ve made contact with with their dominant hand. The actor, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a interpretation of that character reinterpreted as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action show, unlike the original manga and animated series.

Escola is joined by a number of new cast members who will portray the group to reality, such as head the main antagonist, played by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the lineup as the monarch of Alabasta.

Even though this character is a important part of the organization, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. Considering the next season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this represents a notable change in the placement of their first appearance, one that could signal more adjustments to the narrative framework.

The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the role. Besides their current animated role in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece series is scheduled to come back for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
