Incarnation requires excessive willpower and this is a random guy who isn't threatening or has actively slaughtered Kirito's only companions. Here's the thing. Incarnation in the Underworld isn't something that requires extreme willpower like in other VR spaces. It's an active force within the Underworld that everyone subconsciously uses. It's essentially the main gameplay mechanic of the Underworld. Everyday people use Incarnation whether they know it or not. Almost everything, from Sacred Arts, to Sword Skills, to even growing flowers uses Incarnation.

Even someone with extremely low willpower could amp their stats and use probability manipulation. Remember Raios? He was able to use probability manipulation and stat amps through simply believing he was above his opponent.

Also, remember that Incarnation doesn't just run on willpower. It also runs on imagination. The more imaginative and creative you are, the more Incarnation will make the situation turn in your favor.

Who's creative and uses the STL to access Incarnation much more easily, to the point where it'll affect every single action he does? Kirito.

Also, like Rick said, Kahuna would more likely start off by closing the gap because of his previous experiences, not blast a shotgun shell.

Minor progress is all Kirito needs. He's fought enemies that could one shot and had higher HP than him before.
