Toriko is way too much for Luffy. Not only can he take country threat level beasts, he has some piercing and slashing abilities with his Fork and Knife techniques respectively so Luffy's blunt force resistance won't help him from those sorts of attacks.

Kenbunshoku Haki/Mantra allows Luffy a form of pre-cog, which means many of Toriko's moves are predicted before he even makes them and Luffy's more than fast enough to dodge.
Busoshoku Haki lets the user harden his or her body with a form of invisible energy that acts as a barrier as well as armor. High level use of the technique(which Luffy has) turns the "armored" section gunmetal or black like armor, and not only makes that area more durable, but more dense and any attack performed hits a lot harder.
^ I remember that. I don't read Toriko or anything, but I assume he is slow fighter and their world is known for durability and huge power to destroy mountains? XD
Luffy and Toriko have actually been in 2 different crossover specials together. But obviously in stuff like that they have to be similarly power scaled, like in the one with Goku he only went SSJ1 to perform his Kamehameha, which was pretty much equal to Luffy's Gear 2nd Gomu Gomu no Gatling or Jet Pistol(can't remember which) and Toriko using one of his knife and fork attacks. And all 3 hitting each other only barely destroyed the portion of the arena they were in.
I only made it a few episodes into Toriko before I got distracted with other animes, but it doesn't seem to be as over the top as One Piece.
You missed the country level threat bit in my post.
Toriko's Leg Knife cut a canyon-like fissure in the Earth. His Kugi Punch could also destroy a falling iceberg and split a mountain in two. Luffy can't take that sort of punishment.
Eh? Trust me, Toriko's much more over the top than One Piece easily. Outside of the feats I just mentioned, Toriko's ally, Zebra, busted up a country busting turtle, a casual flick from Melk II's knife split a mountain in two, Tengu Buranchi can move at Mach 30,000, and just entering the Gourmet World is practically suicide.
rubber cant take punishemnt? oh, we only put tens of thousands of miles on the non- fictional version of it so we can have traction rolling around on our few thousand pound cars. i would like to still see this fight, obd's only advantage to toriko is his DC, and thats not everything...
They've had some feats that no longer make them slow pokes like Toriko being able to cross hundreds of kilometers in a short time after he mastered Food Honor and Tengu Buranchi can move at Mach 30,000. Toriko's overall power is also above mountain level since there are characters above that level like the Four Beast, Toriko himself, Zebra, Starjun, and Chin Chin. Ichiryuu and Midora are said to be even higher than them but we only have powerscaling to go on so far.
