In episode 616, you can see Law cutting the entire island and Vergo with his
Haki on full power in half, using only 'room' which is his Devil Fruit power,
and it doesn't seem like Law was using Haki because his sword didn't turn
black. But Zoro had to use Santoryu Ogi Three Thousand Worlds to cut Pica in
half with Haki on all of his swords. Does that mean that Law is stronger than
Zoro skill-wise?

Is Law stronger than Zoro in sword technique?


Well, this is rather an odd question as your are comparing apples with
oranges. Let's recapitulate.

Law is using his Devil fruit power to cut through anything which reside inside
his room. On the other hand, Zorro uses only his skill.

If you are asking whether Zorro could cut the entire Island like Law did, with
his current set of skills, the answer is probably **NO**. As the OP already
pointed out, Zorro had to gather a great amount of concentration in order to
cut Pica in half, a feat which would be a piece of cake for someone able to
cut an entire island in half.

Now for the speculation and deduction from what we've seen in the manga/anime.
As it has been pointed out in the comments, Zorro is solely relying on his
skills while Law on his devil fruit power. Zorro's goal is to become the
greatest swordman in the world. He has dedicated his life to the sword in
order to refine his skills indefinitely.He also has previously refused any
tools or cheats in order to upgrade his sword technique, as seen in Chapter
301:

However, Law never shown such ambition or dedication to the sword. Therefore,
it is safe to assume that **in terms of skills alone, Zorro is far better than
Law.**

**EDIT:**

In the fight between Law and Vergo, Law seems to cut through Vergo's Haki with
his DF powers alone, as his sword is not black as we have seen when Zorro uses
it for example. Intuitively, one would think that a DF power is useless
against Haki, which does not seem to be the case. Maybe Law's DF powers
overpowers Vergo Haki?

This reminds me of when Luffy was using Buggy to protect himself from Mihawk's
sword during the Whitebeard vs Marine war. Mihawk, being the best swordsman in
the world, is an expert in Haki. Yet, he does not yield any damage to Buggy.
Is this because he was not using it (Haki was not _painted_ back then) or
because Buggy's actual power is that he cannot be cut?

Based on sword techniques, he is not.

When he cut the mountain he used only his devil fruit power. Also while using
`armament haki` weapons or hands don't always turn black.
