That top of your game thing only seems to apply to real-life and anime does not follow real life principles. The number of things that it fools around with which would be impossible in real life could fill several phone books. Besides, this is not the first time I have seen people in their 40's being considered their prime. In one book series I read, the people who are in charge of armies are generally around 40 because if they are much younger then they don't have the necessary experience to train and lead an army. Too much older and they begin to lose the strength necessary for the task. It depends on the fiction, but in some areas age can lead to an increase of strength because people have a better understanding of how to use their power. Depends on the work of fiction and the rules involved. Look at Chopper's mentor, she is older then any human being living today and she is still fine. And no, I don't want the secret to her youth I don't think it would help me very much. On your other note, I would like to see Luffy live to old age as well.
