The fact that he is succeeded in eating laxus's lightning does not mean he is stronger... his lightning was as strong as laxus's only in the fight against hades.Also laxus is still physically stronger,with more magic power more Durability,Endurance and experience, and he got fairy law. Erza is still stronger than him and out of his league,and it was proven many times. Jura is on laxus and jellals level(even through he is weaker than these two) and he is a wizard saint,so he is also out of natsu's league. Jellal is also stronger than natsu. The only reason natsu beat him in the tower of heaven is becuase he could not complete his Abyss Break fast enough. also he got stronger in the timeskip and is to cast meteors. There are many characters who are stronger than natsu(kagura and mystogan for example) and these characters are also stronger than gajeel and gray who are on the same level.
