The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, though the true confrontation won’t take place until the next season, and a beloved, popular member has recently been selected.

The streaming service revealed this week that Cole Escola will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Mr. 2. This character has the ability to transform into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve touched with their main hand. Escola, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a rendition of that character re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the live-action show, as in the original manga and animated series.

The new cast member will work alongside a number of fresh additions set to bring Baroque Works to life, featuring chief Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and a familiar face, who is also part of the lineup as the monarch of the fictional land.

Even though this character is a major member of Baroque Works, the individual will be introduced in One Piece the upcoming installment. With the next season set to cover the Little Garden segment, this marks a significant shift in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could signal further changes to the plot development.

The actor’s combination of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the part. Along with their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for penning and acting in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.

The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is due to premiere for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
