Conan has made his own sail boat for his journey in finding Lana. He's been out in sea for many days now. Catching fish and rain water to survive. Finally he found an island. He sailed to shore to look for something to eat and drink. As he explored the island, he couldn't help but thinking that there's someone around. He spotted someone spying on him and chased after him. Conan couldn't keep up with him so he played opossum so that the spy will think he's in pain. When the spy came closer Conan surprised him and got up. And it's clear to Conan that the one spying on him was just a boy(who's no more older than Conan) with shaggy hair, ragged pants, with buck teeth. The boy told Conan that he's eating all the fruit and water that's on his turf. Conan told the boy that he wrecked his sail boat and is using his sail for a cape. They both argue continuously, and eventually tried to compete with one another's strength. But it turns out that they're both fit to be tied. They called it a draw and ended up becoming friends. Conan has finally found a new companion to be with. The boy's name is Jimsy, and he lives alone on MY Island(The name of the island they're on).

The doctor explained that that the Industrians don't know about the fate it awaits soon. He wants the Industrians to know about the chaos that'll occur within a matter of days so they can flee and start a new life. Conan demanded that he and the rest would accompany him too. He admired their request but it's something he must do by himself. Lao tells Dyce that he'll trust him in taking the kids straight to High Harbor. He tells both Conan and Jimsy to watch over Lana, and he promises he'll be back as soon as he could. So before sunset he went on his flying machine and flew back to Industria. The next day near the shoreline of High Harbor, a fisherman spotted the Barracuda. And he believes it's up to no good. So he got some custom made bombs and use them to blow the ship up. Then the whole ship is falling apart, and Dyce tries to tell the fisherman to stop. But the fisherman refused to hear what Dyce had to say, because he thinks Dyce is still part of Industria. Lana recognized the fisherman as her uncle and told hi mot stop. The fisherman thinks Dyce is using Lana as a hostage, but Lana convinced her uncle that Dyce is no longer part of Industria. The fisherman took her word and brought the ship in. But he was still mad at Dyce for kidnapping Lana and won't repair his ship that's now half sank into the ocean. They went to shore while Dyce and his crew had to leave the Barracuda behind. Lana couldn't believe that she's back home in High Harbor. It's nothing like Industria it self. They went through the main town of Moto Village. This is the first time Jimsy and Conan have seen an actual village. Jimsy couldn't keep his eyes off the frogs and as well as animals he's never seen before(such as pigs, squirrels, and chickens). Conan liked the sites as well as nature itself. Then they were greeted by Orlo who lives in the mountain side of high Harbor. He's glad to see Lana back and well but Lana wasn't interested in talking to him. He tells Conan and Jimsy to come by his place if they want to be friends. He left and Lana told them not to get involved with Orlo because he's not as nice as he seems to be. Later they went to Lana's home where her Aunt Meizel is glad to see her niece alive and back in one piece. They also met Lana's other uncle and the Village Cheif. Lana told them what had happen. And learned that Dr. Lao is still alive and won't be back any time soon. Her uncle thanked Conan and jimsy for helping her escape from Industria, and as a gratitude he offers them to stay at Lana's home as guests of honor. And the village chief decided to put up a welcome party for Conan and Jimsy in regards of being Lana's friends and heroes.

Gutch likes the way bread is naturally made and not artificially made like in Industria. Dyce and Dongoroth got a job in Black Smithing. Pasco mentioned that they let the Barracuda crew work here because they were short on employees. He asked Conan and Jimsy if they've decided what to do for jobs. They don't know yet, and left while Pasco was showing Dyce how to hammer the correct way without getting hurt. Conan and Jimsy have no skills in any of the jobs offered at windmill village. Till they realized that they both do have specific talents. Conan is able to fish and Jimsy is able to hunt. Now that they know what to do for jobs, they went back to Lana's home to get their regular cloths and weapons. They split up and wished each other luck. Conan went to the shoreline to hunt for fish. He swam along till he found a fish net that's holding hundreds of fish. He carefully went inside it and discovered it was inside a cavern which also has an old flying machine floating. Conan observed it and was spotted by the fisherman he met yesterday, Uncle Garu. Conan told him that he swam along till he found this place. Uncle Garu reminded him not to catch any of the fish in this cavern. It's a fish saqcuary in case there weren't any fish to find in the ocean. Conan asked if the flying machine still works. Garu told him it hasn't run since Dr. Lao last used it. He explained that Dr. Lao saved many people with that flying machine. Conan told Garu that he's really good at fishing. Garu accepts his request and tests Conan if he is really good. Meanwhile Jimsy was wandering around the mountain side to find something to hunt. He tries to strike a kangaroo rat with his arrow but it was rather difficult to get a good aim. It left as well as the rest of it's pack. Jimsy didn't know what was up till he realized that something big is behind him. It was a giant boar(Thrice the size of Jimsy). The board chased him around, it was ferocious and invincible. Jimsy's arrows were useless against it. He came across a cliff, and jumped over the boar which fell straight down along with Jimsy. The boar broke his fall, he got away from it, but then realized it was already dead. Jimsy felt victorious and turned the boar into a large roasted boar. But he doesn't know that he made a big mistake.
