About Doraemon
Doraemon first appeared on the anime scene in December 1969 with the launch of his popular manga. Created by Fujiko F. Fujio, this manga chronicles the adventures of Nobita Nobi and his robot companion Doraemon, who travel back in time from the future to help the boy solve everyday problems. Although Doraemon is not physically strong, the four-dimensional pocket makes him a force to be reckoned with, giving him access to futuristic devices that allow him to do anything, such as teleport. time, stealth, and even give people superpowers.
Unlike Doraemon, Luffy earned 11th place thanks to his incredible physical abilities, aided by his ability to control a psychic force known as “Haki”. By harnessing the power of his Devil Fruit, Luffy gains immense strength, speed, stamina, and endurance. As of One Piece Chapter 1,044, Luffy’s highest power level is Gear 5, which allows him to turn his surroundings into rubber and maximize his physical strength by tensing his muscles. Although this power gives Luffy a great advantage in battle, it also greatly exhausts him due to the huge amount of energy it consumes. Luffy even starts to age if used for too long.
