According to this survey, which reveals the Top 41 strongest characters, the robotic cat Doraemon is more formidable than Monkey D.

About Doraemon
Doraemon first appeared on the anime scene in December 1969 with the debut of his titular manga series. Created by Fujiko F. Fujio, this manga chronicles the adventures of Nobita Nobi and his robotic companion Doraemon, who travels back in time from the future to help the young boy with his everyday problems. While Doraemon is not physically powerful, his four-dimensional pocket makes him a formidable force, granting him access to futuristic gadgets that allow him to do just about anything, such as teleport, turn invisible and even give people superpowers.
Unlike Doraemon, Luffy earned his #11 ranking because of his incredible physical abilities, bolstered by his control over the spiritual force known as “Haki.” When tapping into the power of his devil fruit, Luffy gains enormous strength, speed, endurance and stamina. As of One Piece Chapter 1,044, Luffy’s highest power level is Gear 5, which allows him to transform his surroundings into rubber and maximize his physical strength by inflating his muscles. Although this power gives Luffy a massive edge in battle, it also greatly exhausts him due to the sheer amount of energy it consumes. Luffy even starts to age physically if he wields it for too long.
