In the anime Tom is the best shipwright there is, but how did he get the blue
prints to the Pluton. Did he write them himself, and if so how did he get the
information needed to do so?

How did the shipwright Tom get the blueprints to the Pluton?


Franky explains this, before destroying the blueprints. According to him, the
best shipwrights of the world created Pluton to counter the ancient weapon
"Poseidon".

I don't think any names have been mentioned, but it is safe to assume that the
blueprints were handed down to Tom from his master.

The blueprints for the ancient weapon
[Pluton](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Pluton) were not made by Tom, but
passed on to him according to [the Wiki on Ancient
Weapons](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Ancient_Weapons):

Therefore the blueprints were created during the [Void
century](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Void_Century) about 800 to 900 years
ago and passed down through generations. Tom was the best shipwright of his
generation, but when he was younger, there was probably another shipwright as
good or maybe even better than Tom, from whom Tom had inherit the blueprints
from. The blueprints, could be a real danger for society and should have been
destroyed earlier, but as Tom mentioned, it is not the ship that does the
wrongdoing, it's its captain. Shipwrights just build the ship. So they kept
the blueprints around, to be able to defend themselves, if the original ship
ever fell into the wrong hands or to defend themselves against any of the
other ancient weapons. In Enies Lobby, Franky destroyed the blueprints,
although it is not clear whether he had made a copy or whether he had
memorized the blueprints. He is a robot after all. So it might still not be
the end of Pluton as we speak.
