Is he? From what we have seen, Gildarts hasn't been training for years, unless you count expanding his bedroom techniques as training. Moreover, he's a few organs/limbs short of a full supply, if memory serves, and that doesn't make a person stronger. Since Natsu's goal is defeating Acnologia, and Acnologia defeated Gildarts in a rather one-sided manner, Natsu really needs to get much stronger than Gildarts.
