After his training with Mihawk as well as battles in the New World, where do you speculate he ranks now? Would he be able to beat Vista?

Honestly I have no idea of Zoro's strength. At no point in the new world has he really put forth any effort at all. Even Pica despite the trouble he gave zoro from a strategic level was absolutely no threat to him. He defeats Monet effortlessly without haki.

He's got to be a beast at this point, but we just haven't seen his best yet.

It was implied that in order to effortlessly take down a Pactifista he needed a bit of help from someone on Sanji's level and only Luffy could do it without effort. So he may be below Hancock still.

Vista might be a bit much at this point, but I can see him holding his own for a bit.

Regardless very hard to say without more interactions. He was ready to fight an admiral but I have no qualms saying that he'd lose the battle ultimately.

I can see him close to Vista's level, imo. Mihawk did train him, after all.

Via feat comparison, Base Zoro is likely >~ Gear 2nd Luffy at this point, so about Hancock/Jimbei level. As said before, we've yet to see him use his full power, such as Asura or even higher, though I imagine it's at least in the same league as Law and Gear 3rd Luffy. Iirc, Oda once stated in an interview back when the Skypiea Arc was current that he tended to have Zoro be nearly equal to Luffy at least in most arcs, so Asura Zoro being around G3 Luffy at least seems to work fine for now. If he has a power up beyond that, it wouldn't be a stretch to place it on the same tier as G4 Luffy, so Vista tier does seem quite appropriate as far as assumptions/hype goes.

From general assumptions, it also seems natural that we'll see Zoro a lot in the Wano Arc, so that'll be truly the time to gauge him. If the Straw Hats have some kind of conflict with Jack in the current arc, then that'll help gauge him as well, since scaling should place Jack at near Marco's level.
