The Secret Organization is poised to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the major clash isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a beloved, fan-favorite member has just been cast.

The platform declared Tuesday that the talented performer has joined the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Mr. 2. The role can use their power to change into an exact copy of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their dominant hand. Escola, who is identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that role re-envisioned as non-binary, instead of as a drag artist, in the live-action series, as in the original manga and cartoon version.

This performer is joined by multiple fresh additions tasked with bringing Baroque Works to life, such as leader the main antagonist, portrayed by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the cast as the monarch of Alabasta.

Even though this character is a major member of Baroque Works, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece season 3. With the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden segment, this marks a major departure in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could signal additional alterations to the narrative framework.

Escola’s blend of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the part. In addition to their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll bring 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 next installment on March 10th, 2026.
