I already explained this.

First off, if they are just going to fight without any preparation, Leo needs to plan. He can't shoot a fireball the second the fight begins. Realistically, thats impossible. Leo is gonna make a plan, lift his arms, and shoot a fireball right?

Look at Piper, the girl who charmspeaked people without even realizing. She literally just needs to say stop. Saying "stop" is an opening to charmspeak, the first move, the doorway into control.

Leo cannot just shoot the second the fight begins. Because if he does, that means he would know about the fight and wouldve planned ahead. The debate is who would win in a fight. No preparations, just skills and power.

Piper just needs to talk and its all over. Why? Imagine this. Her power is to control people by talking. She controlled monsters and people before with just one word, as a "doorway" into charmspeak, into control. Do you have any idea how fast sound is? Leo cant even lift his hand and shoot a fireball without hearing "stop" which he would follow (Piper once yelled at a giant to miss).

Piper would win the moment the fight begins. Charmspeak him, could even be accidently, and Leo would follow. Then she could either tell Leo to throw away his pack where his only defense with earmuffs would be taken care off or Piper can just keep talking to Leo in charmspeak, walk up to him, pull out a weapon, and just end the fight.

Again, I mentioned this already. Imagine where all you have to do is hear an enemy and its over. The speed of sound guys. Leo cant even think in less than a second, lift his hand in less than a second, aim with PERFECT ACCURACY AT PIPER in less than a second, and shoot in less than a second.

Piper simply is too quick. Look at this. Leo has too many steps to carry out while Piper just has one and is to talk.
