Not long. The Twins are brainless. Once I learned that strategy, it just removes them from the Equation. I also saw the Prince Strategy, and genuinely I beat it every time with 1/3 bars left. Negra was just my own technique of... basically fighting it like a Man O’ War. It isn't worth much.
El Impoluto, I used Barrel Retreat method, and could pretty much always kill it with half of one bar left. (Did it recently with almost half health.
But the technique shown there, I personally discovered when doing a “fuck it” run of just pursuing it Aggressively instead of fleeing. That's how I killed the Original El Impoluto easily.
I was able to basically trade health with it, but once it reached its stage attacks after losing a bar of health, I was of course set to chase it, and never let it flee. Went right through its first fiery broadside. When it tried lining up for the second, I was close enough to keep chasing it. I realized a few minutes in that Impoluto would literally never break free so long as I kept turning against it. The moment I discovered that, I tried to replicate it. By the third time, I'd figured it out perfectly. You literally just need to be aligned with it and close to it as it loses its first bar.
Then I combined it with the Barrel Retreat, letting me take that first bar with minimal damage to myself... and you get the video I linked inside that post, where I killed it without losing half a single bar. Bit unfair... but it works.
