Considering what kind of punishment Lucy survived in the past (from the likes of Zero and Hades, who were likely stronger than Minerva) I doubt that.

Either way Minerva isn't the kind of person who grants a quick death in the first place.

Also I think that Natsu will go totally berzerk the moment he lays eyes on Minerva.
