I feel like Oda will give her a massive power up soon. She is part of the "future of the marines", after all. And especially due to her relationship with Zoro and her desire to collect all of the rare swords, imo it doesn't make sense for her to remain weak forever.
I think that at the very least, Oda should prop her above the average nobody marine swordsman. I think a mythical zoan would do just that.
What fruit specifically? I think she will get a mythical bird power. She is named after a bird and she fought Monet in Punk Hazard, so imo a bird power would be quite fitting for her. The bird bird fruit model: thunder bird would be a good fruit imo. Tashigi's sword means "autumn rain".
Oda could go the haki route with her, as he did with Koby. But, I feel like a DF would be better. Because unlike Koby, a haki prodigy who awakened CoO in marineford, Tashigi's haki feats have never been that impressive. She couldn't even block getting slashed by law in punk hazard. So honestly a DF might just be her best bet.
