@I_love_Spring Hi actually now it's 53 chapters still no Nakama wins I doubt it's going to end with a Friendship punch for two reasons
Mashima said in his afterword Volume 9.5 he hopes to share a new appeal & side of FT , So far he has Kept his promise
and If it was going a Nakama mess then it would've been done ever since The Water God Dragon fight & Diabolos at the ship fight , It neither happend in those
Don't forget Mashima ( Can ) create Good arcs Tartaros ( aside of that Erza fight ) , Phantom Lord, Tower of Heaven , Battle of FT
This was Twice Natsu used his head First was in the Bakel fight
in his fight with Bakel , he said
There's no telling how many more guys we'll have to deal with , I can't afford to fight at full power from the very Start )
