Nothing short of Zeref is gonna kill Makarov at this point. The old bastard survived a brief fight with Acnologia of all things not too long after getting whopped by Hades. My guess is he'll just be imprisoned for the majority of the battle. I doubt Hiro is gonna actually kill anybody in Fairy Tail, let alone it's previous guild master though I wouldn't mind be proven wrong. We just need to get another awesome battle out of Makarov before he possibly kicks the can.
