I'll say Hancock mid or high diff.

I know she's strong but I don't think she's strong to the point of low diffing Zoro... this may change as we see more of her though.

It wldnt b that easy if the intent is bloodlusted,c so if she doesn't get dominated by the release of sheer masculinity she takes it high diff for now.

Domination part was a joke by the way.

Her fruit won't work a against Zoro and he has a good enough Haki to not turn into stone by perfume.

I really think Zoro can take her on high diff because swords also give some advance Haki users some trouble.

Like Luffy with Hody and doflamingo with law.

The beam won't work, but the kicks will. It has never been stated that good enough Haki will prevent Hancock's perfume from turning you into stone. Even it it was, you don't know that Zoro has good enough Haki for it; the only Haki he's shown was cutting Monet's cheek.

That's actually not true btw. Here's what Luffy said about being pierced by Hody's sharp attack:
You must be registered for see images

which indicates that Haki isn't inherently weak against swords or anything, Luffy's Haki just isn't good enough for piercing attacks as of yet. Not only that, but Hody hit Luffy with a piercing attack, not a slashing attack, so it's not comparable to swordplay.

Doflamingo's strings has been shown to be as effective as any sword in the series so far, and Law's Koka stood up against it, which further proves that swords aren't an advantage against Haki users, it just depends on the strength of the swordsman and the strength of the Haki-user in question, and nothing suggests Zoro's is weaker than Hancock's or vice verse.

We really should avoid match-ups like this where we've barely seen the full extent of abilities that will definitely be brought up.

Zoro low diffs. Never found Hancock strong if she can't even beat preskip Smoker and Zoro is only interested in becoming strong, upgrading his swordsmanship, not by women except Tashigi only because she looks too much like Kuina

Can't beat pre-skip Smoker? Smoker took one attack from her, that in no way says she can't beat him.

It's one of her most impressive feat to base her strength on, so? That also shows how weak her physical strength and haki is if she can't even damage an off-guard preskip Smoker with a bloodlusted kick

It was one kick. It's not enough to base her strength on. For all we know, she kicked him like that just to get him off and hadn't put her full strength into it.

Her beloved Luffy was in danger. Pretty certain she had all the reasons to be bloodlusted and it was even visible on her and the way she spoke

That doesn't mean that every single one of her blows is gonna have her full strength in it. For all we know, she underestimated Smoker and kicked him with a level of strength she thought would be enough(but wasn't) and could have put in more strength to knock him out if she knew that level wasn't going to be enough.

I just don't think it's fair to base what Hancock can do off of MF; I feel like she has more she hasn't shown us as yet.
