Male characters are shown shirtless sometimes, not often. If you let your kids play Street Fighters and Tekken then this should be okay, it's literally no different.
Sanji tends to flirt with women a lot kind of like Brock from Pokémon but it's mainly played for laughs. The top of women's clothed boobs are shown sometimes.
The series has no sex, however there is some nudity. Examples; Women are shown naked, but sensitive parts are covered by leaves, bushes, fog, etc. Side boobs (which we see in kid cartoons anyway) are the only thing shown. And in rare cases if it's a front camera angle, their hair covers their nipples so we only see the outline of their boobs.
Women are in bikinis sometimes and their side boobs and the top of their boobs are shown. (The nipple isn't visible)
Sometimes a girl hugs another character and the camera angle shows her boobs next to the characters face (The character's reaction is always annoyed)
There's a scene where a woman is sitting in the bathtub with her daughter, and her daughter puts her two hands on her boobs (censoring her boobs and nipples from the viewers) all we see is her side boob.
In the "Island of Women" season lots of women in bikinis, some outfits show a decent amount of cleavage.
There is some suggestive humor throughout, but it is rarely and mild.
Mild to Moderate depending on how you scale.
There are 3 cases in the series where a woman's bikini is pulled off, however sensitive parts such as nipples are covered by arms for the entire time.

The series doesn't focus on fatal injuries but usually there is moderate blood shown in most of the fights. Still not very gruesome
Some of the fight sequences include small amounts of blood (especially during the sword fights), characters are often injured, but death isn't common, and when it does happen, it's never shown on screen.
A wide range of violence from slapstick comedy antics to intense fights that can get brutal.
Luffy got his chest burned during a war while he was unconscious, leaving a huge X scar on his chest. it healed pretty quickly though.
There is one character shown with a peg leg and says he lost it saving a kid.
The entire series is violent and can get pretty bloody. However, it doesn't linger too much on injury detail, so it's not that bad.
There are many scene of violence and blood throughout in every episode of the show. Sometimes it for humor purposes, and sometimes it's more serious and not humorous. Fights are taken place in a lot of episodes too.
There's plenty of cartoonish slapstick whenever the characters get into comical situations.
Over the course of 1100+ episodes, there are many fights that show characters getting physically hurt in some form or another, complete with bones breaking and blood flying everywhere.
Moderate violence, with some bloody violence, and even rare animated gore, but some of it is humourous, but most of it is serious and action packed.

There is some very mild language and it'sinfrequently.
Multiple with various of childish name calling words, "stupid", "jerk", "idiot", "fool", "brat", "dumb", "moron" etc. A running gag involve Luffy has funny nickname to other characters sometimes (For example, Luffy call Buggy a "Big red nose" due to the characters design). Played for laughs.
Many mild curse words ("damn", "hell", "crap" and "piss")/PG language are spread out of the series throughout in both the English subtitles and the Dubbed version.
Damn is used a few times but the show is so long it's not frequent .
Damn said a few or several times but it doesn't occur that much.
Some minor/non-offensive language in the series, including "damn", "bastard", "hell", "crap", "piss" and "ass". Nothing serious.
Since the anime series has over 1100+ episodes, contains mild-moderate language, such as "bitch"/"son of a bitch", "shit", "ass"/"badass"/"dumbass"/"jackass"/"asshole", "crap", "piss", "hell", "damn", "balls", and "bastard" in the sub and in the dub, though they used some or somewhat frequently.
Mild to Moderate depending on how you scale.
In episode 927, One of the characters is called a glorified w**re.
Some profanity: shit is used afew times but the show contains over 1000 episodes so it's spread out and not to often.

Some characters also seen smoke cigarettes and cigars respectively as well.
During some of their lighter moments, some characters are shown drinking alcohol like rum since they are pirates but some do get drunk but they don't do anything to crazy.
Moderate overall. The show is about pirates, so drinking alcohol shown a lot. Smoking is also used.
Moderate overall, nothing severe *Unless you consider steroids and drug study severe, you might want to stick away*
Since the characters are (mostly) pirates of the show, both alcohol and smoking occur very frequently. Many of the main characters smoke cigarette/cigars and drink alcohol.
Alcohol (especially beer and rum) is the typical thing with pirates, so expect to see a lot of it.
Sanji (one of the main characters) is a smoker and is always seen with a cigarette in his mouth.
One character, Smoker, is always shown smoking two cigars at once. He has a bandolier filled with cigars.
Some characters smoke.

Despite One Piece being a fairly light hearted series, and the violence not being too extreme throughout, there are still some scenes which can be disturbing throughout the series. These however are normally not presented in an overly violent matter but it doesn't take away from the impact.
Many of the characters backstories are disturbing, emotional, upsetting, and intense throughout the series, and it's can also being bleak, serious, tragic and poignant at times.
There are many, MANY emotional and sad scenes throughout the series. Many minor and major characters died in very tragic events, and some characters have devastating emotional breakdowns that result from their parents/siblings/friends dying. Although the series is lighthearted and happy-go-lucky, it has a very emotionally intense tone, but the humorous scenes can help recover from the emotional/upsetting stuff.
There are many scenes of tension including perilous situations, destruction, national disaster, war, etc.
Different forms of racism are occasionally present in the show, especially the land of wano arc.
The main cast, while pirates, only resort to violence if there's no other alternative, and there are moments when the more aggressive characters are shown that violence will only make matters worse.
While the design of this anime looks like a cartoon (what with it being very colorful, bright, cartoonish and lighthearted), but don't let that fool you, because it has a lot of very dark, mature and extremely emotional stuff.
Out of the big 3 anime of Shonen Jump (others being Naruto and Bleach), One Piece is the longest running and lighthearted series, with 1100+ episodes (due to long arcs).
There's lots of very mature themes in the series, though the cartoonish aesthetic and mostly light-hearted mood of the series balance them out.
During the lighthearted and cartoonish style show overall, it gets darker, intense, emotional and exciting in later on.
