Laxus didn't overpower Ajeel. Ajeel seemed pretty confident that the attack wouldn't have affected him. Making guesses on his abilities now is nothing more than speculation. Furthermore, making guesses on the other Spriggans capabilities is speculation as well. If Laxus was going to fight August (which I seriously doubt he will), I'm pretty sure Mashima would've hinted at it like he did with the other battles.

Lol, don't misunderstand. I never said Lucy was strong enough to face August (or any Spriggan for that matter). I'm just telling you apparently in Rave, the Lucy of that series beat the August of that series by awakening some ass pull super Magic - according to the Rave readers (I've never read it). Now, I personally have never read Rave and I hope that Mashima wouldn't recycle plot points, but he's been known to do it before. :P
