Underground Special Workshop No. 3, Flower Capital, Wano Country.
An enormous surgical lamp bathed the dissection table in stark white light.
All three cryogenic pods had been fully opened, and ultracold white mist spilled down the alloy worktops.
Little Hawkeye, Little Empress, and Little Shark lay side by side on the operating tables.
Neural suppressants continued to flow into their bodies, and the red glow in their eyes had dimmed.
Tony chewed a piece of gum, holding a high-frequency oscillating scalpel.
"JARVIS, cut open their circulation pumps."
Tony casually plunged a mechanical probe into Little Empress's wrist.
"Extract samples of this so-called green blood and run a separation-based spectroscopic analysis."
A blue laser sliced through the outer layer of artificial skin.
A fluorescent emerald liquid was drawn out through a drainage tube and fed into a specially designed sealed test tube.
Tony picked up the green sample and held it to the light, his face full of disdain.

"He forcibly crammed Devil Fruit lineage factors into synthetic blood."

"He's only a local scientist, after all. He has no concept of nanoscale molecular reconstruction."
"Can you extract anything useful?"
At that, Tony immediately lifted his chin.
"Are you questioning Stark Industries' research capabilities?"
"I've already had JARVIS completely isolate the Lunarian Tribe's gene sequences."
"That physiological mechanism that dramatically boosts their defenses when
