Why gotta spite Cell so hard? Trunks blitzes and one-shots.
DBS era Trunks was introduced as being powerful enough to give a Goku that was strong enough to swat Super Perfect Cell in passing a good go of it before Goku broke out God Ki, and was last seen being able to tap into something that seems to resemble God Ki enough to successfully bisect a peer of Super Saiyajin Blue Vegetto.
Super Perfect Cell don't want none of what DBS Trunks is bringing to the table, unless he has time to train and activate his Frieza genes, or learn how to tap into God Ki himself.
Trunks hit at least cell saga era Gohan level during his timeline's version of the Buu saga when he smoked Dabura, who was around Cell level, the upgrades he got during the Black saga wouldn't even be necessary. And manga version it'd be even worse since his SSJ2 was close to Goku's SSJ3(one instance where I prefer the anime version actually).
Yeah, Trunks takes this unless he acts badly OOC, like pulling a Vegeta or Goku. Trunks isn't even one to purposefully let a dangerous threat power up. He ends it ASAP.
Pretty certain any Saiyan from Super can smoke Super Perfect Cell. Trunks at the beginning of the saga was already beyond Cell. He only got stronger since.
For what it's worth, Trunks did kill Dabura - and Babidi - without too much apparent difficulty.
Granted, we don't know if his power level corresponded directly to the present timeline - after all, I seem to recall present 18 and 17 are much stronger than their future counterparts - but according to Vegeta and Gohan Dabura was about as strong as Perfect Cell.
I feel sorry for Perfect Cell here. This is a no contest. Damn, I can't believe I wrote that.
