I think you mentioned it before, but Tashigi's affinity for named swords is a perfect reason for her to come to Wano. We'd get to see her and Smoker's growth and she also has the potential to gain a new weapon. I really hope VP isn't who people think he is and is indeed a member of Sword.
If Tashigi has some ancestral connection to Wano it makes even more sense for her to be here to protect her homeland from the Mongo... I mean the Beast Pirates invasion.
Everything about her says she is Japanese whether its her passion for swords, her moral code, her clothes, her excessive politeness, and even her hobbies. Wano is the land of Samurais, Katanas, honor, and bravery that is about to become a pirate Haven which works perfectly into her character.
If she is meant to become Zoro's other half Oda better start making her look stronger cause fans in the west are divided about her . Whereas the Japanese seem to like Tashigi (ranked 33 in the last poll ) which is amazing considering the sheer amount of characters introduced every arcs and PH was not kind to her.
And Smoothie have a rose on her leg as well
Gion vs Smoothie in Wano maybe?
