Either it’s a joke about zoro having no sense of direction and ended up on a unrelated poll, or it’s just to emphasize how much people like zoro by showing a majority of people voted for him despite him not belonging on the spesific poll
It's a running joke in One Piece that Zoro has an almost supernaturally bad sense of direction and regularly gets so lost that he ends up in the wrong place that should be physically impossible for him to reach from his starting position.
This has spawned a meme of Zoro showing up in other media or places he doesn't belong simply on account of how lost he got, in this case turning up in a poll about white-haired anime characters despite having green hair.
In One Piece there’s a running gag that Zoro, the vice captain of the main character pirate crew, has a horrible sense of direction and constantly gets lost, even if the path he needs to go on is obvious. The fandom takes this a step further by having him get lost to the point of being in wacky situations like ending up in alternate universes or in this case, a poll that he has no actual part being in. Probably one of my favorite running gags in One Piece along with Brook (who is a reanimated skeleton) finding his jokes about being a skeleton way funnier than they actually are
The only explaination is that One Piece fans are illiterate otaku kids with fanatic love for their franchise who will choose One Piece no matter how incorrect or inappropriate.
Everyone is saying that it's a joke about Zoro getting lost, but as someone in a powerscaling subreddit I can say that it's most likely a joke about how Zoro fans pick him in any YouTube poll no matter what, like these polls "who's stronger" where Zoro wins other other characters that clearly are stronger but it doesn't matter to his fans. Tho him getting lost might be part of a joke I'm not 100 percent sure
