japan is waaay more nuanced. read up. 13 is the age of consent but that's only when the other partner is also 14 or something. for 16 year olds i think consent is applicable only when the other person is also under 18 or something.
oda got away with this writing. that doesnt mean its garbage. sanji is 21 and pudding is 16. in no way is that normal.

In Japan, adults can even marry a 16 year old girl, but marrying age for males is 18 if i remember correctly (double standard).
