I don't think it's a big issue, because experienced players know about the possibility of a bait and can wait a little before using their escape. There are some escapes in the game that can be used in the short window of time between when the Kraken can no longer be canceled and before it actually hits you. That'll actually be shown later in Vol.3.

And even if your escape has been baited out, it likely created some distance between you and the Pirate, so the Pirate has to chase you first to use Kraken again. If he closes the distance with say Backfire Cannon, then everything boils down to whether you got another escape. If you do, you just escape a second time and it's likely the Pirate just can't chase any further. If you don't.... welp, may be impossible to dodge the Kraken if it's aimed optimally, with you in the center of the target area.
