One piece is based for having the main characters be like, 19 at youngest iirc. So many shows (like JoJo) will have dudes at 6 foot 5 and muscly as shit and women who look easily in their 20s and go "theyre 15 tho".
Say what you will about Odas weird art style, at least his characters look their age and he isn't making weird sexualized teenagers.
Luffy starts out at 17, but is 19 after the time skip. The youngest is actually Chopper, who is 15 at the time he joins the crew. But he's an anthropomorphic reindeer, so he gets a pass.
What works really well is that the characters actually do look and act their age for the most part.
