>Well, just because you're a woman doesn't mean you're useful. Some people are just kinda scrubs. That only real disappointing thing about Tashigi is that the timeskip was her only real time to catch up, and all she did was reach "plausibly not insta-gibbed by rokushiki" level. I can't see her advancing much farther either, unless there's another similar long stretch of time (and everyone but her decides to nap through it). Oh well.
Well, her being a minor character actually works in her favor on that point. She has a lot of time off screen, and that means she can spend a lot of the time that the strawhats spend fighting just learning. She could start to feel like she's weighing Smoker down, and go on a quest of self-discovery that ends in her being Endgame material.
...that said, I also agree with the people who say she doesn't need to become Zoro's equal. She's Smoker's lieutenant, and there's a decent chance that Smoker's not going to be endgame material either. Chances are they're going to end up contributing to the final battle in a significant way, but not by taking on enemies that are at Strawhat level.
Think of them like Zenigata--Zenigata is never going to be as good as Lupin, but his time fighting Lupin means that when he goes against just about anyone else, he's going to curbstomp them. It's entirely possible for Smoker and Tashigi to go down that road from here.
