Marvel: Wonka's Chocolate Factory

Tony thought Willy Wonka was crazy, wanting to replace one of the most delicate organs in the human body with a lump of "onion".

Without ventricles and atria, how can this "onion" pump blood inside its own body?

"Tony, don't look at me like that. Your heart has stopped working. You can only talk to me thanks to Chocolate River."

"So it's feasible to use a fruit to replace the heart. Without atria and ventricles, special powers will operate in ways you wouldn't expect."

He placed the fruit in the river, letting it slowly approach Tony while soaking in the cocoa liquid. To be honest, Willy Wonka wasn't sure if the fruit would achieve the desired result.

But this is the most suitable of the three mature fruits. Willy Wonka is the one who nurtured the fruits, and he knows the actual abilities and effects of each fruit.

This onion-shaped fruit has a very similar effect to Marco's fruit, and Willy Wonka still calls it the Bird-Bird Fruit.

Zoan type, Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Phoenix form.

Marco's pineapple head image kept replaying in Willy Wonka's mind. He wondered if Tony would adopt an onion-like hairstyle if he survived.

Willy Wonka produced a chocolate knife and swiftly, accurately, and ruthlessly plunged it into Tony's chest.

"Ugh... Ah..."

Tony felt a brief sting, followed by a persistent feeling of powerlessness. He watched the chocolate knife go in and out of his chest, his brow furrowed deeply.

"Willy Wonka, when you perform surgery, don't you first ask the patient if they are willing to watch themselves being disemboweled?"

Willy Wonka continued working, using a chocolate knife to cut Tony's sternum lengthwise down the middle, thus opening up his chest cavity.

"Tony, this is a unique experience. No one else in the world will ever be able to consciously witness their own open-chest surgery."

"Honestly, Willy Wonka, the fact that I can still talk to you is absolutely magical. Although it was a terrible experience, it was cool."

Tony is still able to speak normally, and his life depends entirely on the hope and miracles provided by cocoa liquid.

The physical remains no longer have a significant impact on Tony's life. Even if only his head remained, Tony could still remain conscious, provided he didn't leave the Chocolate River.

"Tony, keep up the good spirits, I'm going to show you a treasure."

Willy Wonka's smile was teasing as he lightly flicked his chocolate knife forward, revealing a dark, fleshy ball.

"Tony, come and look at your heart. This little guy looks a bit dead."

Tony frowned, staring at the thing on Willy Wonka's knife, unable to believe that the organs inside his body had become such a grotesque sight.

"I'll keep your little guy safe for you. If you wake up safely, you can keep it as a keepsake."

"Tony, listen, the most dangerous moment has come. I need this fruit to replace your heart. If I fail, you won't even be able to stay alive."

"I'll ask you one last time, Tony, are you willing to take this gamble?"

Tony reached out shakily and gently touched the blackened heart, corroded by the power of death.

"Willy Wonka, I absolutely cannot bear to live like this. Perhaps dying wouldn't be so bad, going to heaven to enjoy myself, or going to hell to reunite with my parents."

Willy Wonka heard Tony's answer and nodded; Tony's decision was within his expectations.

The onion-shaped Bird-Bird Fruit was placed into Tony's opened chest, and Willy Wonka activated the fruit's power.

Tony's consciousness vanished in that instant, and he fell back into a deep sleep.

The bird-bird fruit emitted a blue light, forming a ball of light on Tony's chest.

Willy Wonka did not choose to let Tony eat the Devil Fruit because it would be ineffective; the power of the Devil Fruit, under normal circumstances, could not save a necrotic body.

Willy Wonka wanted to directly integrate the power of the Devil Fruit into Tony's body, thereby achieving the effect of the Devil Fruit awakening.

The power of the Bird-Bird Fruit began to take effect, and under Willy Wonka's manipulation, it started to gradually fuse with Tony's flesh and blood.

The fruit disappeared, leaving behind a pale blue ball of energy that pulsed rhythmically, like a beating heart.

Each movement promotes the fusion of energy and Tony's body, and every second countless cells receive the energy of the Bird-Bird Fruit.

At the same time, every second, cells age and die prematurely due to the depletion of energy.

Tony's body had become ethereal and transparent, and the silhouette of a small phoenix was overlapping with Tony's body.

Willy Wonka carefully channeled the energy, performing a delicate operation to simultaneously awaken the Bird-Bird Fruit and imprint Tony's consciousness into it.

If either of these two things goes wrong, Tony won't wake up.

The phantom of the phoenix grew larger and larger in the superimposed image of the two, and the vigorous life force found a master, and Tony's consciousness began to recover.

A pale blue flame burned in the Chocolate River, incinerating Tony's body. Then the flame shot into the air, where it blazed fiercely, and a phoenix materialized in mid-air.

This is a pure elemental creature; its blue flames not only bring destruction but also contain abundant life.

However, Tony's consciousness within this phoenix has not fully awakened yet; it is merely struggling to take control of the body while in a semi-conscious state.

Willy Wonka watched this scene quietly. He had done all he could, and now he just had to wait for the outcome.

Luck seemed to be on Willy Wonka and Tony's side, as Willy Wonka watched as the blue flames of the phoenix in the sky turned golden-red.

Upon seeing the flamboyant color, Willy Wonka knew that Tony had already mastered the power of the Bird-Bird Fruit after its awakening.

The golden-red phoenix fell from the sky and transformed back into Tony beside Willy Wonka.

At this moment, Tony Stark showed no signs of weakness. He took the heart, which had been corrupted by the power of death, from Willy Wonka's hands.

The flames burned faintly, and the heart turned to ashes in Tony's hand.

"Willy Wonka, you are no ordinary superhuman. The extraordinary items you casually produce can bring me back to life. Perhaps I have never truly understood you."

"But thank you, I've come back to life, and I've even climbed an even higher mountain."

The clothes were made of golden-red flames, and the hem of the flame cape flashed with light. Tony was as extravagant as ever.
