Tbf, Avatar: The Last Airbender was also made for kids, but I quite enjoyed it as a young adult (even though it does have “cringy” moments). I guess One Piece just doesn’t have a “deep” overarching story like a world war, propaganda (talking about the fire nation), and genocide.
I assure you, One Piece is very much not child friendly later on. The first like 700 episodes build up to a specific story arc (Wano). The current (anime) arc has a major back story of a characters life which includes him begging to be allowed to die as a child.
Or ypu know you aren’t the actual target audience for One Piece which is children.

One Piece actually does have those things.
But I’m still not gonna sit through 1000 episodes for it.
TLA is aimed at an older kid than One Piece seems to be.

That and the anime pacing is terrible.
