Different power types make direct strength comparison misleading. What matters here is the character identity gap: what each existence does to the world, not who hits harder. Shanks's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around how much the universe protects them / raw destructive ceiling. Hestia's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
