Great summation of the crew...Chopper I think I saw somewhere that, in reindeer terms, he was the equivalent of 16 in human years or some such. With the devil's fruit and all, I don't understand how exactly you'd figure out his real age, but I know I saw that 16, even if he is the youngest 16 ever. It is so hard to write the crew well...which is why I cheat and write about Ben and Shanks and that gang because, well, we don't know all that much since Oda hasn't revealed it and what he has revealed is really fun to play with. It's a cop out, but it's a fun cop out ^^.
And I must say, Oda writes some of the best secondary characters I've ever seen. Johnny and Yosaku, Dori and Brogi, and the marines are my favorites so far, but everbody, from the random townspeople to the chefs on the Baratie feel like they have backstory just waiting to be explored; whether it's from the way they're drawn or what few lines Oda chooses to give them, and that's a real talent.
