It seemed her partner was not going to stick to a straight fight. Lassa's lips spread into a grin. "Good. Good! This is what I wanted to see!" A slightly savage tint colored her bearing as she turned around, looking towards the edge of the train where the smaller woman had disappeared.
It seemed this had turned from a clash of force to one of dexterity and skill. In that case...
"Not bad. You use boxing, to some degree? It seems like you're an out-boxer, and taking advantage of that against a Slugger is the right way to go." Hearing the sound of a whirring leg, she leapt straight upwards, letting the Tempest Kick fly past underneath her. As she did, a vial slid out of her sleeve, landing in her hand.
"Only one problem!" She called downwards, before suddenly draining the vial. Her body shuddered and she landed facing away from Lucy as she landed. Lucy winked and then vanished below the edge again as Lassa twitched.
Her suit, the jacket having returned, shrunk as her body did, and a ribbon slid upwards to re-adjust their hair. Powerful build slimmed to a more sleek muscular form reminiscent of a swimmer or runner. A stronger jaw, and slight stubble, and he spun on one foot.
"Unfortunately for you, darling, I've always considered myself less of a slugger, and more of a switch-hitter, yeah?" Snapping his suit jacket, he cracked out a line of cloth and swung over the side of the train, before suddenly spinning in mid-air and bringing both legs around, kicking off the air and then starting to move around the train. His maneuverability and turning had increased noticeably.
Rather than proper Shigans, he kept his finger pulled in to leave larger bruises rather than penetrating the flesh. With a combination of Geppo, cloth lines to turn against, and the occasional Kamisori, he began chasing Lucy around the train. Careful not to hit the train itself with anything too hard, or break his finger against the metal should he miss, he chuckled.
"Always good to have some flexibility, yeah? Not every fight is winnable with brute force, and I take a somewhat... flexible view to life in general. It's how I got my codename." Sending a Rankyaku towards the ocean, he sent a spray of water up along the side of the train, rendering it slick and difficult to grasp in order to slow Lucy a little bit. "Agent Cointoss, at yer service."
