If laxusbdied in a 1 on 1 fight against one of the weaker 9 demon gates then that would mean ft would die period. Not happening, most likely laxus will defeat this tool and force the other 9 to go straight for FT. Or the classic anime cliche will happen where laxus gets his ass kicked then he comes back later with a power up and wins but I doubt it since its laxus we're talking about not natsu
