Powers & Abilities Should Zoro deserve to be equal with Luffy in Strength?

While Luffy got Advanced COA, COO in minutes
Minutes? are you even reading one piece?...he has spent like hours in life and death battle against Katakuri to get FS and still he has yet to master thoroughly like Katakuri level and for advanced CoA he has to spend around 10 days and we don't know to what extent he has mastered....so stop with this nonsense.....
he got G2 by observing CP9 and we at least know how it works but can you explain Ashura..... can I get 3 heads and 9 swords by lifting?
And more importantly Luffy does work his ass to become stronger and you are talking about pre-TS lifting of Zoro but what about post-TS, since he hasn't shown training, then he won't deserve right? from the same logic...

His determination, perseverance and will of becoming stronger were the triggers to overcome Luffy's devil fruit hax gap difference.

Zoro would be stronger than Luffy had he eaten a devil fruit but he chose not to. And it's ok that way. Being aware that he must put in more effort is also a trigger to train more consistently and longer, which is what Zoro also always did.

Just watch Zoro training video.
He works consistently hard to become stronger. While Luffy got Advanced COA, COO in minutes and got gear2 by just observing CP9.

Should Zoro at least on par with Luffy even he is MC? what do you think?

It's just a narrative tool for character depiction. Zoro's position in the crew is combatant and therefore needs to be shown training. This never translates to the actual reality of the manga, though, and if you want it to be realistic then odds are that the time Zoro spends sleeping (which is far above any other person), other physical fighters of the crew spend it training; I mean, Luffy didn't come up with Gear Second and Third out of blue, Sanji didn't improvise Diable Jambe on a whim, and even Chopper probably trains too.

Actually Luffy started to develop (by realizing he was too weak to defend his crew) G2 and G3 when he was defeated by Aokiji. Anyway that is not the case for FS which was stolen midfight (Luffy is a genius fighter etc. but that was also an huge amount of plot power). And anyway Luffy trains in between the arcs and sometimes on panel like it was shown in Wano. Anyway pre time skip there were good reasons to think Zoro was on par or almost with Luffy. Post time skip the manga had become Luffy focused even more giving to secondary characters not name Luffy (from Zoro to the last named character) way less space meaning Zoro until now only had some chances to actually fight and show something. We have to wait and see Zoro go all out (vs Kaido probably along with Luffy) and at that point we wil have asolid answer unlike the guesses we can make now.
