But the thing is we haven't seen the current Laxus. And it's entirely clear that Warrod is stronger than GMG Jura, so much so in fact that aside from his appearance, Warrod has God-tier strength, as described by multiple people through the monologue of Ooba. I have my favorite characters too, but I'm not blind to the fact that there are others in the world stronger than them. We've only seen Ishgar, and by extension, Fiore. We have not ventured to any other countries in the main story. You are contradicting yourself by saying that you agree with me, but then by saying that you don't think that hardly anyone can give Laxus a challenge. We don't even know if Laxus will be there. You need to be more open to the fact that your favorite character is not an almighty deity and that there could possibly be others stronger than him, as said by one of the most powerful wizards in the whole world.
