Lucy has gotten way more powerful and can obviously help to fight the bad guys way more now than she could before so i hope this means that people will finally stop calling her useless but i hoped the same thing when she saved all her friends during the Tartarus arc but people still called her weak and useless afterwards.

I hope she can still use the Aquarius form she used to defeat Jackal and that was her first star dress.

And this is obviously supposed to show how much stronger the heroes have become after the timeskip just like during the Fishman Island arc in One Piece.

And in One Piece they defeated all the villains except for Hordy Jones easy with no effort at all but later during the Dressrosa arc they got a few difficult battles again and it will be the same in Fairy Tail in a later story arc and the main branch of Avatar that they talked about in earlier chapters will obviously be way stronger when Fairy Tail meets them in the future.

Its not possible to have long and difficult battles against villains and show that the heroes have gotten way stronger at the same time and from what i remember most people thought it was cool and badass when the Strawhat pirates defeated Hordy Jones minions easy and fast when this happened in the One Piece manga.

Also seems like Wendy can use dragon force anytime she wants now and i wonder if Gajeel can do the same yet and maybe Natsu can also go into dragon force if he wants but has not felt the need to do it so far.
