Monkey D. Luffy holds a meaningful power lead. A 2-tier gap is bridgeable only by exploiting scenario and DNA advantages aggressively. DNA tells a different story: Tanjiro Kamado: constant growth arc, Monkey D. Luffy: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
