I've just been wondering about it ever since I started watching the anime again, beginning from the fish man island arc.
One of the themes, if not messages, of OP is to value your nakama and believe in them.
Now I'm sure more than me have noticed, that Luffy trashed about half of that big boat Noah, and noticed the message from joy boy about the promise to raise the ship to the surface. Shirahosi being poseidon, the one to use her power to help raise Noah.
Pluton being the ship of which Franky held the blueprints for, these being destroyed by himself. The blueprints which were supposed to be handed down from prominent shipwrights through generations, in case the real pluton was revived(meaning it's currently 'asleep').
Uranus we don't know about yet as far as I've understood it all.

Taking this all into consideration; wouldn't you say that the straw hats are making things hard on themselves? Meaning these weapons are potential threats if they're in the wrong hands.
I mean, they destroy potential help against these weapons, and I'm thinking Noah is one of those thing which will help, considering the cautiousness Neptune was ordered about it.

Taking this back to one of the themes that I mentioned, do you think they will be, as Franky suggested when he destroyed the blueprints, figure things out when confronted with the situations? In other words, believeing in their strenght??

It's just speculations on my part, but I'm sure someone else must've noticed! It's so exciting!! :D

Which part was it that was unclear? I'll try to elaborate ;)

Ah! Ok, what I meant was that an often recurring theme of One Piece is to 'believe in your nakama and their strenght'. This is something I believe Franky is suggesting when he destroyed the blueprints for Pluton, which could've helped them if they built their own Pluton to fight the original one, if the original were to be revived and used in bad ways. It was a means to defend against the original Pluton's overwhelming powers in other words.
Quoting from One Piece wiki "Franky retorts they will just have to find out what will happen if it ever gets revived and figure things out from there without the blueprints to aid them."
With that I'm speculating that Franky suggests to believe in the power they possess themselves instead of in the power of the ancient weapons.
Now, it's probably a given that Shirahoshi won't turn evil on anyone as she's a good type of character, despite that, they're destroying valuable objects, like the blueprints and Noah that could help them. I'm just thinking their actions coincide with this theme, to believe in their powers as a crew or nakamas.
Wouldn't you say it's reasonable to think this?

Hehe, then I'm predicting they're going to do something similar to something pertaining to Uranus as well. They probably won't need it anyway; Zoro can make fillet out of something like Pluton any day of the week! :D
