Zoro beat the monkeys
Besides Rayleigh and Ivankov Luffy still had the rusukaina animals and Sanji the 99 newkama karate masters. Zoro didn’t have anyone capable of pushing him besides Mihawk
Tbf we’ve seen Luffy train with hyogoro against beast pirate fodder but he only unlocked what he was looking for in an extreme situation. Then working his way backwards to better master it
With that all being said it’s likely that Zoro and Mihawk spared a shit ton during the training because like Zoro said there was no one else besides Mihawk. Mihawk obviously pushing him to his limits to grow stronger but we don’t know how far Zoro was able to push him
