If he ever ends up writing a story that's 18+ on account of story and violence (and due to the age rating having less restrictions on sexual content too) I do wonder how far he'd take it.

As for the being fired part... I am quite sure that the contract lasts only as long as the series rather than the mangaka being live-long employees of a certain magazine, so he'd just have to switch to a fitting publisher if he ever wished to actually make hentai.

As for it being his style or not, that's something only Hiro Mashima can say for sure... actually not even him can tell for sure, since style can change over time.
