Just like any other fighter?
Removing Zoro's quality blades is just like removing Luffy's DF, Kaido's or Sanji's genetics.
Even then, their strength don't solely comes from lineage factor modifications.
You're basically saying that if Shanks eats Burgess DF he automatically becomes a stronger swordsman, despite not needing to level up his Haki, neither getting a better blade for him to fight.

What is the full meaning of skill?
:
the ability to use one's knowledge effectively and readily in execution or performance. : dexterity or coordination especially in the execution of learned physical tasks. : a learned power of doing something competently : a developed aptitude or ability.
to be adept and the most skilled in a physical task your physical stats need to also be buffed. Hence why the best swordman and fighters in real life and onepiece train their physical stats movement speed and reaction speed. A boxer and swordmsna are ASS if they lack the ability to move dodge react and use the full qualities of their physical stats.
by default if shanks got a fruit that further buffed his stats he would be a better swordsman. Since his physicality would increase the AP output of his sword strikes.
To add as to why this point is ASS is because of the fact that after the time skip Zoro learned NOT ONE NEW SWORD TECHNJQUE AND INSTEAD RENAMED HIS OLDER MOVES UPON INCREASING HIS PHYSICAL OUTPUT USING HIS SWORDS. For eg. 108 pound canon becoming 1080 pound canon, or tiger hunt becoming Ultra tiger hunt, or shishi sonson becoming shi-shishi sonson, need me to go on?
