Although there are no strong fighters on this island, Arthur chose not to activate Observation Haki directly for safety reasons; instead, he turned on his electromagnetic field.
After all, Franky is a cyborg, and any humanoid creature containing significant metal must be him.
Using this method, Arthur quickly identified a suspicious individual on Water 7 within minutes. He then teleported over.
Dressed only in his underwear, with blue hair styled like an airplane, an exaggerated expression, and arms resembling Popeye's, adorned with five-pointed stars, he was striking a pose. Yes, this was Franky!
After confirming Franky's identity, Arthur surveyed his living situation.
Inside Franky's house, dozens of gangsters lounged around, doing nothing but having fun and being hungover every day.
Arthur thought, They must be completely drunk by nightfall, and then he quietly left.
Hours passed, and night fell.
Arthur floated on the roof of Franky's house, hidden in the shadows. The weak-willed individuals below were completely oblivious to his presence. Thanks to the right angle of shadow occlusion, he wouldn't be noticed unless someone specifically looked in his direction.
Thus, Arthur waited patiently.
Although he could easily incapacitate all of them in an instant, that wouldn't seem natural. If the gangsters were all intoxicated and in a stupor, his actions would go unnoticed.
Most importantly, Franky himself shouldn't even be aware of it. This way, even during the Judicial Island incident that would occur two years later, Franky wouldn't realize that Pluto's designs had been backed up.
As for whether the Judicial Island incident would happen, Arthur didn't know. However, if he wanted to venture into the New World, a better ship was essential. Perhaps it would happen? Regardless, if CP9 found Franky's body, they would have to burn the drawings.
That night, the gang was thoroughly drunk, resembling wine barrels, especially Franky, who must have consumed an entire barrel of wine!
Arthur waited from nine in the evening until three in the morning, almost six hours in total. The long wait made him curse under his breath.
Eventually, he thought, After waiting this long, I might as well stick it out a little longer. This mindset kept him waiting for what felt like an eternity.
Seeing the drunken gangsters slumped like puddles of mud, Arthur slowly floated down from the beam in the darkness. "Damn it! The wine in this world really doesn't taste good; it's not strong enough! When I get back, I'll have them make some Wuliangye!"
While he grumbled, Arthur suddenly had a brilliant idea to make a fortune! In the future, it could serve as a state-owned enterprise for his Angel Empire to rake in gold.
Approaching Franky, Arthur grimaced as he endured the overpowering smell of alcohol. Using electromagnetic force, he carefully scanned Franky's body. Although he knew the blueprints for Pluto were inside Franky, he didn't know exactly where.
But he could use electromagnetic force to open up various organs and take a look.

As Arthur activated the switch on Franky's abdomen, a small door suddenly appeared.
Opening it with his electromagnetic abilities, he found two bottles of Coke inside.
Arthur couldn't help but exclaim, "What the heck? It's strange that two bottles of Coke could contain so much energy!"
Just then, Franky seemed to stir, perhaps waking up due to the disturbance. Not wanting to take any chances, Arthur placed his hands on both sides of Franky's head.
Hum~
Weak electromagnetic waves enveloped Franky's brain, gently massaging his brainwaves and leading him into a deeper sleep.
This move was a new technique developed by Arthur. He had initially created it to help those training with Devil Fruits recover energy more quickly.
Thanks to this development, Arthur's control over his abilities had improved significantly.
If his previous control level was 90%, it had now risen to 99%. Previously, he could control voltage down to one volt, but now he could manage it to 10 microvolts.
While this minuscule voltage seemed insignificant, it meant that if Arthur could refine it to 1 microvolt, he could control charged particles and manipulate electrons and protons.
Well, there's nothing wrong with calling Arthur a god!
At that time, Arthur was like a true god!
If Arthur can really reach that level, he could strike directly at Mary Geoise, defeat Lord Yim and the Celestial Dragons, and rule the world.
"Huh?" Arthur finally discovered a stack of very old-looking books in Franky's belly compartment.
"Great! I have a more powerful card in my hand!" Arthur suppressed his urge to laugh. He didn't touch the Pluto design album directly but used weak gravity to pull it into the air, then instantly teleported away.
The room didn't have the right lighting or space to take a good picture of the Pluto design.
He teleported to a room near Franky's house. Arthur put the owner into a deep sleep using microwaves, then turned on the light casually.
Click, click, click!
The best camera in the world flashed repeatedly, capturing each page of the Pluto design.
As Arthur looked at the drawings, he didn't understand the calendar, but he felt a sense of greatness. Occasionally, with some designs, he could intuitively see Pluto's power. However, there were too few elements he could fully grasp.
Even so, some parts he understood shocked him. Pluto claims it can sink an island with a single cannon shot; it truly lives up to its name! Moreover, Arthur recognized something familiar in the design.
The Fenglai Cannon, Lion's Roar Cannon, General Cannon, and others from Franky and the Sunny were all based on this design. Looking at the drawings, if built, it wouldn't be difficult to sink an island with one shot.
Additionally, there were other weapon systems and propulsion mechanisms on Pluto.
In short, if one were to compare, its size and power would likely surpass laser weapons. However, miniaturizing it into something like a laser gun is indeed quite rare.
In less than ten minutes, Arthur took clear pictures of the fewer than a hundred pages of Pluto's content.
To ensure he missed nothing, Arthur checked each page three times before erasing any signs of his presence, turning off the light, and vanishing from the room.
In Franky's house, no one showed any signs of waking up. Arthur carefully put the original Pluto drawing back. His Superman memory allowed him to restore the Pluto design atlas to nearly its exact original state.
His feet didn't touch the ground, leaving no fingerprints. Aside from taking pictures with the camera, he hadn't touched anything else during the whole process. Unless it's a Devil Fruit power, no one could trace him!
But aside from the Devil Fruit that looks back in time, who could find him?
Arthur was extremely cautious with the Pluto design. He knew that once news got out about him acquiring the Pluto design atlas, the World Government would not let him go.
Although Arthur wasn't afraid, the power of the World Government was formidable. He was uncertain how much strength they had behind them. It didn't mean everyone around him could escape unscathed.
After getting the blueprint, Arthur didn't leave immediately. He appeared near Blueno's tavern and began using electromagnetic fields.
Coincidentally, Blueno just showed up. He entered the room by pushing open a door from thin air.
Of course, Arthur didn't witness this directly; he sensed a sudden fluctuation in the air and then felt someone enter the room.
"It seems that he has indeed eaten the Door-Door Fruit. I thought so. This kind of fruit can open a space door from the air, which is a high-level application. How could it have developed to this point when he only ate it in Water 7?"
Arthur frowned, feeling regretful. But it didn't matter. Once he got the Dark Fruit, he would find a chance to take it.
This trip to obtain the Pluto Design Atlas was one of the few significant gains Arthur had made in nearly ten years since arriving in the world of One Piece.
That day, Arthur didn't return to the Sky Island but went straight to the moon.
He now had the Pluto design atlas. Moreover, there were other things he needed to take care of.
