Licorne has the 4x AP advantage; however, in terms of durability, Kishibe should be able to withstand anything physical from him without much repercussion. Though, he will have to be cautious since both his head and hands are exposed without the High 8-C protection from his suit. Otherwise, he shouldn't have a problem maneuvering through Licorne's attacks and should be able to harm him due to his weapons massively upscaling from his physicals. It mainly comes down to who is the better fighter. Both of them are fairly skilled, but I would give Kishibe the edge due to his status as "the strongest devil hunter" and his ability to somewhat keep up with Quanxi, who would win against everyone else in the world in a h2h combat tournament. I also feel like he would be able to see through anything Licorne has up his sleeve (literally). I'd go for Kishibe for now.
 
Licorne's combat skill mostly comes down to these two encounters,
He reached around his back and pulled something out from behind him. It wasn’t a flashlight or a walkie-talkie—

It was a gun.

“Die!”

The gun, equipped with a cylindrical silencer, was pointed squarely at us.

However, before he could pull the trigger, Lico had already made the first move. Lico picked up an abandoned umbrella from off the ground and flung it forward. It transformed into a javelin as it accelerated through the air and flew towards the guard.

But the umbrella wasn’t heading for the man’s body—it was aimed at the barrel of the gun. The tip of the umbrella slid right into the silencer.

Bullseye.

Naturally, the trigger couldn’t be pulled with the umbrella lodged into the barrel, and the weapon became too unwieldy to hold with one hand. After tugging at the umbrella for a few moments to no avail, the man cursed in some foreign language and tossed the gun to the side.

Those precious seconds were enough for Lico to sneak up behind the distracted guard. With no hesitation, he twisted the man’s right arm upwards with ease, bending it into a grotesque position. The sound of a bone snapping distinctly echoed through the air, even over the deafening fire alarm.

The guard let out a horrific scream as he fell to his knees and slammed face-down onto the ground.

Showing no mercy, Lico pressed his foot against the man’s neck, gaining full agency over his movement. The man was powerless to resist from underneath the small boy.

But Lico wasn’t finished with his assault. He pulled out a hammer from inside the suit around his arm. It wasn’t a small, garden-variety hammer you would use for a nail; the tool looked like it was entirely made of carbon steel, implying that it was designed to be used as a lethal weapon.

Lico raised the hammer over his head—
A moment before I was about to hang my head in despair, a black cloth fluttered through the air and landed on Hitomoshi’s face.

A suit jacket…?

Lico had flung the garment that had been around his arm.

With his free hand, Hitomoshi pulled the suit off his face. Once he did, he turned and faced the young boy standing in the snow.

“Come at me.” The boy loosened his tie and gestured for Hitomoshi to approach. “Mr. Former Ultimate.”

Hitomoshi appeared to accept the challenge. A wide, menacing grin formed on his face.

He tossed Kyoko aside like some sort of old toy and charged straight at Lico.

Lico had fully untied his tie.

With such a big disparity between their body sizes, I didn’t have much faith in a favorable outcome. Lico’s body looked to be thinner than Hitomoshi’s thighs. This was one fight he shouldn’t have picked.

Hitomoshi thrust out his right hand as he ran, prepared to grab onto Lico’s neck. Lico stood perfectly still, making no attempt to dodge the attack.

A smile spread across Hitomoshi’s face, filled with confidence in his certain victory.

Once he grabs Lico, it’s all over…

I felt an urge to scream.

But Hitomoshi’s arm suddenly froze midway through his attack.

Wrapped around Hitomoshi’s outstretched right forearm was Lico’s tie. Lico was pulling tightly on both ends, creating a bind around the man’s arm.

Hitomoshi winced. Blood began streaming out of the parts where Lico’s tie was wrapped around.

“There’s a thin wire inside. The more power you put into your prized muscles, the more the wire will eat into them.”

Paying no attention to Lico’s warning, Hitomoshi grit his teeth and clenched his right arm to try and break free.

“Aaaaaaaaargh!” he yelled.

Blood erupted from his arm, staining the surrounding snow bright red. The tie wouldn’t come off, no matter how much he resisted.

Giving up on his right arm, Hitomoshi now swung at Lico’s side with his left.

Lico released his grip on the tie and gracefully leapt backwards to dodge the attack.

Hitomoshi had regained his freedom. The tie was still wrapped around his right arm, but his left arm was unrestrained. I didn’t know which was his dominant arm, but as a rock climber, he must have had considerable grip strength in both.

I wouldn’t wanna be on the receiving end of an attack by either of his arms.

Hitomoshi predictably channeled all of his strength into his left arm. Lico managed to dodge the man’s swings, but only by the skin of his teeth. Their size difference had placed Lico at a disadvantage.

Before long, Lico found himself with his back against the fence.

“You’re quite the opponent,” Hitomoshi growled, speaking for the first time. Knowing that he had fully cornered his prey, he had the leisure to boast. “Why don’t you tell me your name before I kill you?”

“Is that necessary?”

“What?”

“Do you really need my name? If so, I’ll tell you. I’m Rei Mikagami. A number of people call me by that name.”

“You’re Rei Mikagami? Huh, I guess it’s my lucky day.” Hitomoshi pulled his left arm back, preparing to swing with all his might.

But before that could happen…

He collapsed to his knees, falling flat onto his face.

What had happened?

“Good night, Mr. Former Ultimate.” Lico pulled out a spare tie from his vest pocket and deftly tied it around his neck.

Hitomoshi was no longer moving.
 
By the way @GunshyFever, I think we have enough evidence to upgrade Kishibe to High 8-C+ (Keeping up with Quanxi and can take direct hits to the face from her which should make him superior to Yoshida). If the upgrade is applied, this match will become invalid and won't stay on the profile.
 
Not really. Kishibe's durability comes from taking multiple punches from a carefree Quanxi, and we can't give him the same rating as her in terms of striking strength because he was outsped by her and, in that scene, was unable to land a blow. Additionally, in the novel, it was stated that a serious punch from Quanxi, even if he blocked it, would have completely removed his arm. Him being superior to Yoshida is not applicable since he himself says that if Yoshida is a third-rate hunter, he would be a fourth-rate, placing himself below Yoshida in terms of rank. The current feats he has now would warrant a likely higher rating, as he is far stronger than Denji and Power but still below the High 8-C devil hunters and assassins.
