To be honest I never gave a thought to the Selkie curse going to anyone besides Caviar and Tortuca. I don't think Anything would have happened to Pearl beyond just turning into an ordinary seal. See the thing is, Tortuca has Pearl's original powers, plus the Selkie Curse, so I'm working on the line that it's less the Selkie Curse and more of a Combo of both the Selkie curse and the Sea tear mixing into something big nasty and smelling vaguely of Durians. If Pearl got whammied by the Selkie curse, without her powers she would have turned into an Ordinary Seal and most likely fled the Shark in the confusion. Thusly after repelling the Durianeers, Captain Caviar would have started sailing to track her down, because he looks after his crew, and a single seal in a very big ocean is going to be in a lot of danger, not just from Pirates. Which would keep him away from the Creme Republic, which would ultimately result in the same situation that the story is currently in in Worldbuilding stakes, only now instead of finding an intelligent cookie you have to track down someone who has the instincts and intelligence of Neal the Seal.
