I agree that after she gets haki she'd be equal to (or better than) Franky more or less. As it is right now though, Franky's clearly the superior fighter or at the very least has his combat abilities highlighted further. I know Oda's never gonna stop making her a fanservice girl, but he could at the very least make her useful in some fights. I'm getting bored of seeing her stoically watch from the sidelines and only come in for minor rescues and some short lines to show her quirky, unconvential personality.
