You do know that even without Achillies' Curse, Percy is still a very acomplished fighter, being one of the best swordsman of his time and also one of the strongest demigods as well. I mean Carter used to have a god inside him, but doesn't right now so he should be on an even playing field with an uncursed Percy.
