Last time they crossed paths he had no intention of fighting Stede.
The time before he had every intention of banishing him, but went into that duel with mercy, knowing he had to fight fairly under a code that the rest of the crew would adhere to. A Gentleman's duel, and look where that got him.
He didn't start this. There was no agreement on rules of engagement. So all is fair and fucking valid in self defense. Which means he doesn't feel bad at all about jerking his fists in Stede's shirt even tighter and then releasing upwards to punch him right in the fucking gob.]
