“Until that morning, her brother Nico had been the most powerful demigod she knew. The others at Camp Jupiter saw him as a traveling oddball, about as harmless as the fauns. Hazel knew better. She hadn’t grown up with Nico, hadn’t even known him very long. But she knew Nico was more dangerous than Reyna, or Octavian, or maybe even Jason. Then she’d met Percy.”

this was what hazel said though I'm still on percy's side. I hope you realize that that quote still proves the exact same point. Hazel says Nico was stronger than Jason, she considered him the most powerful demigod she knew. By saying 'then she met Percy" Rick is directly saying that Percy is more powerful than Jason and equal with Nico, or at least that's how Hazel sees it. But Rick wouldn't include it if was wrong so I'm gonna take Hazel's word for it.
