Sadly, none of the badguys seem to be swordsmen. Unless maybe Diamante has one folded up in his pocket.
Nah, at this point I'd say Pica is exactly the kind of opponent Zoro should be interested in meeting again, precisely because he was having trouble fighting him. They are heading deeper and deeper into the most dangerous place in the world, so it's no good to just think "can't beat this one, let's find somebody easier!" We already know he doesn't even possess any "this cannot be cut" beliefs. He just needs a bit of time to figure out how to cut Pica effectively.

Of course I also think Zoro would rather fight a really tough swordsman, like Kyros (with both legs), but it's not like he wouldn't enjoy fighting non-swordsmen as well. As long as they aren't women, I guess.
