I wouldn't call Oda "old " though, especially when you consider how One Piece is a bigger franchise over there. Not like Toriyama wasn't at the tail end of DBZ when he did Chrono Trigger. Considering how much of a surge older works are getting in Japan lately, I feel several older artists would be pretty marketable even today.
