What if this happens..
Smoker & Tashigi arrives near at Wano to escort Vegepunk on a ship. They are shock to see an island is floating due to clouds but then they see a person(Luffy) falling. Smoker rush in to the air to retrieve the person, only to bare witness that its a knock out Luffy. Hesitate to do what is right or wrong, Vegepunk ask who is this person and why do I sense a tremendous amount of willpower!? The devil of his fruit wants to be awaken.
But nah.. Yamaoto would probably save Luffy. :/
I'm still hopeful Luffy actually falls on Wano. The people of the country finally recognize an outsider fighting for them, and it begins the process of freeing them from their xenophobia.
Personally, I'm hoping Smoker and Tashigi are already on Onigashima. Pipe dream, I know, but there's room that multiple ships came to Onigashima.

Thread was locked, but here are my thoughts: I don't think Vegapunk will directly enhance Tashigi with performance drugs. I believe he might have a training center for her to hone her skills. I don't think it's an accident G-5 have went the longest without being seen. They were fairly regular characters pre-timeskip. So, to me, Smoker and Tashigi should come back into the story far stronger than we last saw them. Then, they should have a little spar with Luffy and Zoro respectively to show their results, but more importantly to clear the air between them and confirm their new goals after the period of reflection they had since Punk Hazard open their eyes on the Marine's deep seeded corruption.
This is also just me, but I believe Tashigi will be among the new generation of Admirals. The reason I feel this is way is Smoker is very much a lone wolf by nature. He'd rather employ his justice freely and without the restrains of regulation, deferring responsibility of the soldiers to Tashigi, who is more by the books.
