"Cyclops..." "Took you long enough." "I came like you asked, somewhat reluctantly." "Calling me up out of the blue like it's an emergency... as self-centered as usual, I see." "It's not like you had anything better to do." "I'm a lot busier than someone who who has the time to be running all over the Pacific islands with a beautiful woman." "Don't take her lightly, Cyke..." "She's tougher'n most guys you'll come across." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Hey, if you two are going to start fighting, you can get off right now!" "He's certainly very serious." "Not as much as me." "Let's get going." "I'm not a taxi driver!" "Good, 'cause I wasn't gonna pay you." "How exactly do you two know each other?" "Oh, we're best buddies." "Since when?" "!" "Cyke!" "I'm in a hurry." "We need to get to Madripoor." "Madripoor, huh?" "That's one infamous island..." "I saw a plane headed in that direction on the radar while I was on my way here..." "Did you not hear me say I was in a hurry, bub?" "!" "You do know what kind of place Madripoor is, right?" "Madripoor... an island off the coast of Asia." "Pirates took it over a long time ago, and since then the place has been a go-to spot for all kinds of scum." "An outlaw nation..." "And it's a split society." "Split society?" "Hightown, with its dazzling high-rises, and Lowtown, the very definition of a terrible slum." "There's no middle-class." "The only thing the two have in common... is crime." "I get it." "Since the previous owner of the island died from illness, his son, Kurohagi Hideki, has been running things." "I've heard rumors about some kind of huge wedding ceremony on the island..." "But you two probably know more about that than me." "Keep flapping that tongue, Cyke, and I'll cut it off!" "That's Madripoor." "If it was just Logan, I wouldn't mind dumping him into the ocean off the coast..." "Hey!" "If we make any kind of regular landing, the crooks on that island will swarm us, take anything we had, and then kill us." "Swing around to the eastern side of the island." "It should be relatively safer there." "You're certainly knowledgeable." "Yeah." "A little." "Thanks for the ride." "I'll see you two again, if you survive." "This your first time here?" "No, I've been here before." "What?" "With my parents..." "Sorry." "Guess I hit a nerve." "Wow, I guess you do have a kind side." "Logan!" "Hey!" "I thought you said the eastern side was safer?" "I was talking about the plane!" "Outsiders need to stay out!" "Let's kill 'em!" "Set an example!" "Bastard!" "I ain't got time to waste with you!" "Yukio!" "I'm taking off!" "Try not to die!" "How kind of you!" "I might just cry tears of joy!" "Now what?" "What rock did you guys crawl out from under?" "Seem a little different than that last bunch, though..." "Why are you attacking me?" "I-It's how we usually treat outsiders!" "Well, that's real friendly of you." "By the way, you know a guy named Kurohagi?" "Oh yeah." "You're gonna die." "Dammit!" "What's going on?" "!" "Dammit!" "Come on!" "Here we go!" "Now then, let's begin the welcoming party." "You bunch sure got a rough sense of hospitality." "So?" "Am I the only guest at this party?" "He's a monster!" "Logan... no, Wolverine." "An unexpected guest." "Get him!" "Cripes!" "This is one hell of an island!" "Why'd you help me?" "Ain't outsiders supposed to be bad guys here?" "You seemed pretty tough." "So I thought maybe I could get you to work for us." "I'm not gonna work for anybody." "Almost everyone on this island works for Kurohagi, in some way." "But there are some people who don't." "That's us." "What'd you say?" "!" "We don't work for him..." "Before that!" "Almost everyone works for Kurohagi..." "You know about Kurohagi?" "Of course!" "Where is he?" "!" "What're you gonna do if I tell you?" "That's none of your business!" "Could we be after the same thing?" "Did you come here to kill Kurohagi?" "Were you hired by somebody?" "Or is it a personal grudge?" "This ain't an interview." "Tell me where to find Kurohagi!" "Fine!" "Fine..." "Stop trying to scare me!" "You're scary enough without trying..." "In Hightown." "Look over there..." "That brightly lit, conspicuous building..." "Kurohagi's there, at the Dragon Palace." "Dragon Palace..." "Splendid!" "Excellent." "The former leader of this island..." "Thank you so much!" "I'm sure my predecessor would be pleased." "And once the wedding is over, you'll be able to expand your operations to the neighboring countries—" "What?" "!" "Logan is here?" "!" "It's not gonna be easy getting into the Dragon Palace." "The roads in Hightown are hard to make sense of for an outsider, and everyone knows you're coming." "Sounds like good odds to me." "But it's not like all of them are crooks because they want to be..." "Kurohagi's thugs..." "If they do as he says, they can survive." "Nobody can stand up to him." "Ruling through fear, eh?" "Maybe we are all crooks..." "But, a lot of us hate that very fact!" "I can't trust the people of the city to handle this." "It's finally time to set you loose." "Your target is Wolverine!" "You can't do it by yourself!" "You won't make it to the Dragon Palace!" "No matter how tough you are!" "I appreciate the concern." "I'm just telling you the truth!" "You don't know this island!" "That's why—" "I don't know this, I can't do that... mind your own business!" "I'm gonna go there!" "Go there, and get Mariko—" "Mariko?" "Seeya." "Wolverine!" "You may not pass!" "Damned ox!" "I can't just leave you!" "Aren't you after Mariko?" "Go and find Shingen!" "I guess this is about more than hating Kurohagi..." "We would appreciate it if the famous Wolverine would lend us his strength." "Next time on Wolverine..." "Vadhaka."
