If Stefano faced the colomber earlier in his life he would have proved the story wrong. He would have also gotten the Perla del Mare sooner. It would have brought him love, power, and peace of mind. Considering that he waited he didn’t have much use for it because he was dying.

If there wasn’t a colomber, Stefano would have still gone back to sea. The reason he would have is because he wanted to become a great captain just like his father.
