Vongola Base (extra plot information)
The vongola Base is located in a special island.
Surrounded by rocks and coral reefs is almost imposible to get to the shore of the island, even if you manage to get around the rocks and reefs there's the problem of how to climb up the cliffs.
None the less there's a single patch that will lead you inside the island and to the secret beach inside it.
The single hideout of the pirates was carved directly into the rocks, with the size of a grand castle with many rooms, halls and rooms to acomodate the whole family.
It sustains itself with a pure water fountain located in the back, where the rocks bring the rain water into the mountain. There are also a garden with different fruit trees and some animal that, with the pass of time and no one to keep them on check, have take over the house.
This is the first place Tsuna and Co. find, the place his grandfather had given him the map for. Here the teens find the old ship of the vongola and fix it to part. On this hideout they find the map for their next target, the vongola rings.
Since there wont be a future arc in this AU for the fact there's no technology to build the ten year bazooka I will have to modify some of the plot. First of all there will be a fight with Byakuran yes, but it will be in present time.
The figth with the Varia will happen first of course, just like canon. After they get the vongola rings and since they're not searching to become the mafia boss, but instead to locate the treasure of vongola they will start a search.
The location of the treasure is a secret that Giotto had to keep a secret from Tsunayoshi. He only gave the teen the location of the hideout, there they find the map to the location of the vongola ring, once they get the rings they will have to find each one of the families of the previous vongola crew members.
Each guardian had gone on different ways, none of them telling each other where they're going, for the reason of separating themselves is to have a normal life. To find the location of the treasure Tsuna and Co. have to find the pocket watch wach member had when they break up, once all of them are collected the actual location of the treasure will be revealed. This will make the new crew to go around the world in the search of each pocket watch.
You might ask why add something like this? Well even if the rings are somewhat important for their magical qualities the pirates are more interested in the treasure, so it will serve as a plot and reason as to why Tsuna goes around meeting each different crew on the search for the treasure. Some of the pocket watch will even be in the hands of his enemies already.
That's as far as i plan to explain of the AU for now.
