1. Zoro thinks Lucci is too weak to fight Luffy and should fight him instead
2. Zoro thinks Lucci is too dangerous for Luffy and he should protect his captain
With the second choice makes more sense imo, because same situation has happened before in Dressrosa
He just wanks Luffy, but deep down we know Post TS / Rooftop Zoro waa levels above Dressrosa Luffy so Zoro actually meant Pica was too much for short battery G4 just like Lucci is too much for short battery G5
