He's strong but not that strong when you remember Acnologia nearly ripped him in half. And he met some trouble during the Key to the Starry Skies arc in my opinion.

Plus I bet if he had been in this arc even he'd have had trouble, Tartarus likely would have tried to take him down first.

But yeah, he'll probably be shocked, who here thinks his first assumption would be Acnologia?
