I don't completely agree here. Yes, he was enhanced with the Curse of Achilles, but I think Percy still would've won with the curse. Remember, the fight was basically fire vs water. You might argue that Percy wouldn't have been able to summon that hurricane without the curse, but I find that ridiculous. Percy was able to summon a hurricane in the Son of Neptune without the curse, with less effort, and was able to use if much longer than he did in The Last Olympian, so I think he still would've defeated him. The Fight between Percy and Hyperion wasn't combat. It was Fire vs water, so the curse didn't help much, since it would tire Percy much faster, like the example above (Percy got tired faster summoning/controlling the hurricane with the curse then without it?). That's why I use it as an example of Percy being able to defeat Leo with a hurricane, just like he did with Hyperion. Plus, Percy has gotten much stronger, and his hurricanes have gotten much stronger as well (Hint: Son of Sobek).
