LOL at people acting like Luffy and One Piece is some lesser comic. Biggest manga in Japan, breaking sales records with each volume, running for FIFTEEN years!
Give me Luffy over Goku anyday!

Anyways, Luffy's teamed up with both Goku and TOriko before, but I really wanna see this.

All the push Shonen Jump keeps giving Toriko is not amounting to anything. Naruto should be there more than anyone.

@Shamo - Krillen would lose, I don't know if you've watched or read One Piece but Luffy could do some damage. With his level of Haki he could predict a move before it even happens he can even tell the damage the attack would be if it hit, he can also harden his body parts to some sort of armour and knock people out with the pressure of it.

and why would you put Naruto in there? f*cking Krillin could beat him :P

@Blackflash, i grew up watching One PIece. it came on Fox Kids back when i was in elementray school. then i watched the subbed version a few years back. made it to where he went to go rescue Ace untill i stopped watching it.

so yeah, unless Luffy got ridiculously more powerful since then Krillen would kill that boy. Master Roshi blew up the moon very early on in the Dragonball series. and i've seen no1 in One PIece come anything close to that.

maybe that other dude can put up a fight though.

@LehnsienLaw

*High Five* One Piece is THE best written story. The immense planning, foreshadowing, character development, its just insane this is ran by one man.

@Shamo

That wasn't One Piece you watched, that was 4kids shit. Imagine getting your first exposure to Transformers through Michael Bays second Transformers movie, thats what I would relate your story too.

One Piece is nothing like what you watched, its dark, its serious, theres rape, human enslavement, murder, torture, racism all that involved. It can be a dark manga but it always stays true to its light hearted side with funny moments and touching ones too.

Watch the uncut Japanese Shamo

I like DBZ, but One Piece is just better story. Read or watch One Piece, you will laugh, you will cry. Just reserve soething like a year of free time, cause this shit is looooooooooooong :P

Never got One Peice... I heard the writing was good but the corny drawing of it never could catch my eye. I'm sure even that's gotten better tho.

"Spidey91:

I don't think so at least since Naruto is capable of controlling Nine Tails' chakra he would stand a very good chance against Krillin (who other than Goku cannot go Super Saiyan). But Naruto wouldn't stand a chance against Goku thou.

LUFFY VS GOKU? SAY IT AN'T SO!

is it to much to ask for future trunks vs zoro*?

or maybe a franky* vs android 16?

*if you don't know who they are....JUST WATCH ONE PIECE ALREADY!
Ace006
Ace006 - 2/27/2013, 5:30 PM
and to all those saying that luffy doesnt have a chance keep in mind it takes goku like 5 episodes to use 1 attack and luffy usually finishes the fight his in in about 1 or 2 episodes you know when gets there that is...

How about instead of making that useless, trash of a show you put 1st round Ichigo vs Goku & Naruto vs Luffy tournament style. That would sure as hell settle the best anime/manga of all time issue.

#Goku would win
