The alley outside Whiskey Peak smelled of sand and gun oil; I could hear the crowd—half curious, half afraid—murmuring about a shadow pulling strings behind a smile. You’ve seen the trailers, the costumes, the sudden spike in One Piece threads on X and Reddit. I’ll guide you through who’s been cast, who’s coming, and what those choices mean for Season 2’s rising stakes.

Who are the Baroque Works members?
Short answer: a criminal syndicate with thousands of foot soldiers and a select roster of numbered operatives. In live-action, the cast so far maps the organization’s hierarchy—president, vice-president, higher-ranked male and female officers, and the frontline ‘Front Agents’ and ‘Unluckies’ who act as messengers and punishers.
Who runs Baroque Works?
Joe Manganiello’s casting as Sir Crocodile confirms the showrunners’ choice to anchor Season 2’s threat around a single, charismatic villain. Crocodile (Mr. 0) will operate as president; Nico Robin (Miss All Sunday), played by Lera Abova, functions as his vice-president and the story’s cerebral threat.
How many people are in the Baroque Works?
Canonically the syndicate claims over 2,000 members; on-screen we’ll primarily meet the numbered agents who drive the narrative conflicts the Straw Hats must solve.
Joe Manganiello as Mr. 0 (Sir Crocodile)
Observation: big-name casting changes how an antagonist is read in the first five minutes of a trailer.
Crocodile is the president of Baroque Works and the man who pulls strings under the alias Mr. 0. I’ll say plainly: the Sand-Sand (Suna Suna no Mi) Devil Fruit makes him lethal on camera because it allows a visual language—sand, dust, dessicated corpses—that VFX teams at Netflix will relish.
His public face in Arabasta is deception; behind closed doors he’s planning regime change. That duality is one reason Manganiello’s casting landed so hard in headlines and on X feeds.
Lera Abova as Miss All Sunday (Nico Robin)
Observation: whenever a show casts a linguist-archaeologist, fans start hunting the Poneglyph timeline on Reddit.
Robin is Crocodile’s vice-president and a walking archive: she deciphers Poneglyphs. Lera Abova’s take is already generating theory threads because Robin’s Flower-Flower (Hana Hana no Mi) power translates oddly well to intimate camera work—small hands, silent reveals.
Her bounty history (canonically 79 million berries since childhood) feeds the sympathy-and-threat tension that will shape Season 2’s moral beats.
Awdo Awdo as Mr. 1 (Daz Bonez)
Observation: some characters are saved for later seasons so their arrival feels like a punch in the second act.
Mr. 1—Daz Bonez—will arrive in Season 3, according to casting updates. His Dice-Dice (Supa Supa no Mi) power, which turns flesh into blades, is a practical-effects and stunt team headline: it’s the sort of ability that requires choreography and a consistent VFX language to sell on screen.
Daisy Head as Miss Doublefinger (Zala)
Observation: actors who can carry a signature walk make viral moments—remember the viral clips from Season 1.
Daisy Head will play Miss Doublefinger, a high-ranking female officer and the spine of several Little Garden scenes. Her Spike-Spike (Toge Toge no Mi) powers—spikes spraying from her body—ask for bold stunt work and practical textures in costume design.
Cole Escola as Mr. 2 (Bon Clay)
Observation: some roles become cultural touchstones, and Bon Clay is one of them.
Cole Escola’s casting as Bon Clay (Mr. 2) was announced for Season 3, and his Clone-Clone (Mane Mane no Mi) power—copying appearances—creates a narrative tool for disguise and identity play. Bon Clay is also one of the story’s most emotionally resonant characters, so expect performance beats that reward patient viewers.
David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3 (Galdino)
Observation: oddball visual cues—like Mr. 3’s three-barrelled hair—are exactly the sort of thing fans screenshot and circulate.
Mr. 3 uses Wax-Wax (Doru Doru no Mi) powers to create hardened wax weapons—a seemingly silly ability that becomes ingeniously lethal. David Dastmalchian’s physicality suits the role; wax effects will be a cross-team effort between practical props and VFX.
Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek (Marianne)
Observation: youthful performers often bring unexpected tonal range that surprises older fans.
Miss Goldenweek is not a Devil Fruit user, but her painting-based gimmicks act like psychological weapons. Sophia Anne Caruso’s Marianne is young, unpredictable, and useful for tonal levers—humor sliding into menace—when the show needs it.
Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5 (Gem)
Observation: explosive characters demand careful camera coverage to keep stakes clear without CGI fatigue.
Mr. 5’s Bomb-Bomb (Bomu Bomu no Mi) power creates explosions; Camrus Johnson’s Mr. 5 pairs with Miss Valentine’s weight-changing attacks to create coordinated set-piece threats in Whiskey Town and beyond.
Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine (Mikita)
Observation: costume choices for weight-based powers are a test of practical effects and stunt rigging.
Miss Valentine’s Kilo-Kilo (Kiro Kiro no Mi) ability—changing weight up to 10,000 kilograms—creates memorable action visuals. Jaslyn’s casting suggests the production will play those beats big.
Rebaone Ben Kgosimore as Mr. 7 (Former)
Observation: small on-screen scenes can seed big lore moments, and Mr. 7’s introduction does exactly that.
Mr. 7’s brief scene with Zoro sets the tone: Baroque Works scouts talented pirates by offers and tests. That early moment gives weight to Baroque Works’ reach across East Blue.
Yondu Thomas as Igaram (Mr.8)
Observation: welcoming mayors who celebrate newcomers often have the best disguises.
Igaram (Mr. 8) presents as Whiskey Peak’s mayor while working for Baroque Works. Yondu Thomas’ portrayal will reveal the town’s hospitality as a carefully staged trap.
Chi Mhende as Miss Monday
Observation: tall, physically imposing actors change how fight choreography reads on camera.
Miss Monday’s size is her weapon—an effective, practical presence that complements Mr. 8’s duplicity. Chi Mhende’s casting confirms the production will use body language over powers in some confrontations.
Daniel Lasker as Mr.9
Observation: small duos—two agents hunting a whale—make for memorable, portable antagonists on the high seas.
Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday operate as an early Front-Agent pair; they’re gymnasts with metal bats, not Devil Fruit users, which makes their fights kinetic and grounded.
Charithra Chandran as Vivi (Miss Wednesday)
Observation: political actors in a story often change the stakes from ‘treasure hunt’ to ‘survival of a kingdom.’
Vivi joins Baroque Works under a codename but not as a true believer—her loyalty is to her kingdom. Charithra Chandran’s casting gives the role a diplomacy-first sensibility, and her Peacock Slashers are an elegant prop for fight choreography.
Mr. 13
Observation: odd mascot-like figures in criminal organizations become unexpectedly memorable.
Mr. 13 is one of the Unluckies—small, vicious enforcers who punish failure. Their presence signals that Crocodile’s control is ruthless and personal.
Miss Friday
Observation: a pair of animal messengers with miniguns is the kind of absurd detail that becomes a social-media clip.
Trailers confirm Miss Friday carrying miniguns—an on-screen promise that Little Garden won’t be a quiet stopover. Expect the pair to steal scenes with absurd violence.
Two final editorial notes: first, the live-action adaptation’s casting choices favor actors who can sell character beats in close quarters—Netflix and its VFX partners at Toei Animation are clearly building a visual grammar for Devil Fruit powers that balances practical effects and digital work. Second, production staggered certain high-impact characters into Season 3; that sequencing reads like a loaded deck for future marketing and narrative tension.
Which Baroque Works casting surprised you the most, and which one do you think will change the Straw Hats’ course in Season 2?
