Lucci is a bum but from the reader's perspective he's right.
Oda has always done this though, he has Luffy receive a bunch of help like against Doflamingo and then writes as though he's on or above their level in the next arc. So for that reason, I still have Luffy in the emperor bracket but definitely on the lower end like Mihawk.

Kizaru is on the island and Lucci didnt do shit yet, because Luffy is still with them.
The end.
The opening doesnt happen if Luffy stays with the crew unless Kizaru shows up to where they are.
Its simple.
If Lucci was just waiting for Luffy to leave then there was quite a big window of opportunity. He already knew that Kizaru had arrived and Luffy was already away for the transport and then Kizaru fought Sentomaru too and after that when Kizaru bypasses the barrier does Lucci make his move but this is before Luffy engages in battle with Kizaru.
What I am trying to say is that Lucci not striking earlier was more due to not having Kizaru as backup rather than Luffy not being there. We already know that even when Luffy was present Lucci was still prioritizing targets and not stopping in his attempts to kill the target (Sentomaru).
Well thats the thing, when that panel of Lucci happened back then people memed on Lucci for being a sore loser. Basically his pride wont allow him to recognize Luffy as an Emperor, he was being a bit salty about it was my take away. This was way back then by the way, before we knew he would fight zoro and my opinion of it didnt change so you should know that my words arent being controlled by anti zoro agenda or whatever. I do love Zoro and Im sure once we get the focus back on him he will just make short work of Lucci if he didnt already. So for me all this gassing up of Lucci makes no sense but whatever lmao.
Also to add to this, there is the panel I posted in which Luffy told Lucci that he cant beat him and Lucci didnt argue against it. There is the fact that Lucci only started acting up and attacked Vegapunk once Kizaru and Luffy started fighting, IE when Luffy left and gave him an opening.
To me, all these together mean that yes Lucci recognizes Luffy's strength but he is too prideful to verbally say it if you get what Im saying.

It's crazy how many people take that line and leave out the context that it's said in. That statement was made after Kaku told Lucci they'd be in trouble for attacking a yonko without permition.
It's meant to show Lucci's pride and stubborness, that he hates Luffy so much he would disobey protocol and attack him anyway.
