Unlike when they dealt with Pica in Dressrosa, back then, Pica's body had been sliced apart by the Great Thousand Worlds and then finished off with King Punch.
But the three meteors Zoro had just cut apart, though smaller than Pica had been, had fallen from a much greater height!
They had started out as enormous meteors, but after being sliced apart, they'd scraped through the atmosphere and turned into a meteor shower!
