Luffy's greatest power is often described as attracting all those around him and making people want to help him. As such, this innate ability of his allows him to befriend almost anyone, and knowing his character, he would certainly hit it off with lots of other anime characters beyond the world of One Piece as well.

10 Luffy And Goku Would Have Some Great Sparring Sessions (Dragon Ball)

Luffy is one of the most powerful pirates in the world of One Piece and just like Goku, he relishes fighting. Throughout his life, Luffy has been training to get stronger and be worthy of being called the Pirate King. Goku, being someone who admires strength quite a lot, would love to be his friend and train together with him. In fact, the two could even teach each other a couple of their signature techniques, each getting stronger in the process.

9 Gon Freecss Would Love To Travel With Luffy (Hunter X Hunter)

Luffy is, undoubtedly, the most adventurous person seen in the world of One Piece. His entire journey to find the One Piece continues to be a grand adventure and he enjoys every bit of it alongside his friends. Gon shares a similar sense of adventure and even after finding his father, he is intrigued by the idea of the Dark Continent's existence. If the two ever met, Gon would love to follow Luffy on his journey to the One Piece.

8 Naruto Uzumaki And Luffy Love All Their Friends (Naruto)

Since Luffy set out on his journey, he's acquired 10 crewmates, who he considers his closest friends. Luffy values friendship a lot and to him, an adventure isn't the same without his crew. Just like Luffy, Naruto values the lives of his friends enough to die for them if needed. Holding these same ideals, Luffy and Naruto would become great friends and always have each others' backs. Additionally, both Luffy and Naruto hold tremendous power and would thus be able to fight for their friends together.

7 Asta Chases A Dream Similar Luffy's (Black Clover)

From a young age, Luffy has dreamed of being a pirate and sailing the seas to find the One Piece and become the Pirate King. Although Luffy seems to have a grander goal, this dream of his has shaped who he is as a person. Just like him, Asta dreams of becoming the Wizard King and has trained as hard as he possibly could to see it this dream become a reality.

Considering their similar goals, Luffy and Asta would have great respect for each other and would definitely enjoy each other's company quite a lot.

6 Izuku Midoriya Wants To Save All Those Who Need Help (My Hero Academia)

Luffy doesn't consider himself a hero, but whenever someone needs help, he's more than willing to carry their burden on his shoulders. This has been demonstrated consistently throughout the story and is true even today. Izuku Midoriya's dream is to become the greatest Hero of all time and save as many people as he can with a smile on his face. Izuku is a kind kid who Luffy would love to befriend and even train in the ways of Haki. Together, the two would form an unstoppable team.

5 Killua Would Be Drawn To Luffy Like Everyone Else (Hunter X Hunter)

One of Luffy's most dangerous qualities is his innate ability to draw others to him and gain their loyalty. According to Dracule Mihawk, this ability of his is the greatest in all the oceans and is what makes him far more special than anyone else in the One Piece world. In Hunter X Hunter, Killua is drawn to Gon in a similar manner and it would be fitting for him to similarly tag along with Luffy. Knowing the Straw Hat pirate's disposition, he'd find Killua an amazing personality and immediately befriend him.

4 Ash Ketchum Loves Adventure Like Luffy (Pokémon)

Ash loves to travel in search of Pokémon to catch and make lots of friends in the process. He's a great Pokémon trainer who loves all his pocket monsters equally, which would make him a perfect friend for Luffy.

The Straw Hat captain has proven an obsession with people who are different from others and Ash, along with his Pokémon, would certainly fit that category. Luffy's first instinct would be to invite Ash and his Pokémon to join his crew.

3 Saitama Is A Ridiculously Overpowered Fighter (One Punch Man)

Luffy isn't obsessed with strength, even though he relishes a good fight. However, to protect those he loves, he pushes himself beyond all limits and gets stronger. Saitama, someone known for breaking all his limits and being ridiculously strong, would certainly love Luffy's company. Saitama is a very simple guy as well, which likens him to Luffy even more. The two would have great fun training together and getting stronger while at it.

2 Gintoki Cares Deeply About His Loved Ones Like Luffy (Gintama)

Luffy's love for his crewmates and his brothers goes beyond any limit. Although he's too easygoing at times, when things get serious, Luffy is always the first person to step up and assume responsibility. Gintoki is somewhat similar to Luffy in this aspect; while he's lazy, he'll go to any lengths to protect those he loves. Undoubtedly, the two would make incredible friends.

1 Edward Elric's Love For His Brother Would Resonate With Luffy (Fullmetal Alchemist)

One Piece's Paramount War saga gave fans a glimpse of how much Luffy loves his brother, for whose sake he went to the impregnable prison Impel Down and then invaded the headquarters of the Marines in Marineford. Luffy even gave up his lifespan just so he could try and save Ace. Edward Elric's love for his brother is quite similar; just like Luffy, Ed would sacrifice anything for Alphonse. The two would thus have a great understanding of one another and hit it off as best friends.
