Zoro foddered Monet and never wanted to fight her in first place cause she was weak and girly.
Franky help is minimal, zoro never asked for it.
Pika never intended to fight honorable and was running away from zoro with his df, plus he was attacking civilians, if pika intended to have a True 1v1 he would have been stomped.
For the artificiel dragon, it was not a dual in the first place. It was not a zoro vs dragon fight, it was a 4v1 fight, zoro only wished he could give the final blow to see how it feels to kill a dragon.
For the mihawk scene I agree, i d have liked if zoro got another teacher than mihawk,
You're right.
What I was really meaning to say was just that Zoro also gets some help from other people in his fights some times, but I ended up exaggerating.
Of course, the fact he didn't want to cut Monet himself was actually more honourable for him, since Monet was a woman.
And Zoro got help from Orlumbus to reach Pika precisely when Pika turned away from his opponent and was going to attack other people, so Zoro getting Orlumbus' help was totally justifiable, and didn't make him less honourable.
Just in the case of the fight against the dragon, I believe it would have been more honourable for him if he had made sure to fight the dragon alone instead of teaming up to beat it, which is never a praiseworthy thing, but the dragon wasn't a human opponent, so I guess this is not very relevant.
Also, about his fight with Monet, I just think Oda did an injustice with Tashigi by writing in a narration box that Zoro was the winner; It would have been more fair if in the narration box it were written that Zoro and Tashigi were the winners instead, considering how Tashigi was in fact the one who finished Monet off, and considering how Zoro hurt Monet's face when Monet was being held by Tashigi, so it was clearly a 2vs1 fight, and not a 1vs1.
And I'm not saying that Zoro wouldn't have won in a 1vs1, but nothing changes what actually happened, and what actually happened was that Tashigi did in fact help Zoro in the fight, especially by allowing him to beat Monet without having to actually seriously hurt a woman. In other words, Tashigi spared him "the dirty work".
And of course, what was written in the narration is not Zoro's fault; I'm only blaming Oda a bit here, and not Zoro.
