Damn. Looks like Eric had cottoned on to Lee's new strategy. Always ready to leap in case the boy took a misstep, but conserving his energy so that Lee would wear out quicker. Honestly, the boy had to give him props; Eric was a much smarter combatant than he'd given him credit for! If only they weren't enemies, they might get along really well... oh, well. Clearly, this wouldn't work.
Lee stopped running, trusting his own reflexes to keep him safe the next time Eric leapt at him. Now to analyze his foe and figure out how to win.
This guy, Eric, he was nearly invulnerable. Tough enough to tank his strongest techniques, strong enough to seriously harm him. Lee couldn't really deal with that; he was good at fighting opponents who had help; either a weapon or a devil fruit. If it were either of those, he'd have already won. Unfortunately, Eric only had his own body. And ironically, that made him the perfect person to beat Lee.
The only reason he could think of that his Blade Breaker hadn't worked would be if Eric were able to move while his skin were still as hard as iron. Why he hadn't used this before, Lee wasn't certain; maybe he'd done it to give Lee a false sense of security. But Lee's Blade Breaker was strong enough to bend, even break iron; he just hadn't been putting his back into it. So, he got back into his defensive stance, waiting for another Leap. This time, he would shatter this man's arm for sure! See how good of a fighter he was after that!
"Well? come on, then!" He cried, egging the man to attack him. "Finish it! Come at me, I know you want to! Let's see who's made of tougher stuff!"
