He definitely isnt one of the strongest. He got sent to assassinate 1 person in a resteraunt vs jackal to attack era. Also, the 4 armed bro said "why do jackal and tempesta get al the action" kyouka assigned the missions and silver does what he wants. Look at his magix, wendy could eat it. Also, again if he beat laxus then that would make 0 sense. He would just kill laxus and no one in ft except maybe mira amd erza are as strong. Well obvs gildarts but who knows where he is
