Instead of getting in the Pearl quest right form the start. LEVEL YOUR WEAPONS. Get those notoriety/skill levels high. Allowing your pirate become strong and skilled. Do all other non-story quests first. By the time your pirate finishes the Pearl he/she should be close to Mastery.

Ordo is currently Notoriety 25.5 and weapons are level 15. The Chapter quest is at 2%.
And I haven't finished all other quests.

Just about everyone does this from thier 2nd pirate on. Very common approach.
Some even made a project out of it. Definately the preferred approach makes doing the quest much easier. Several of my pirates I didnt start the Black Pearl quest until I hit level 32.
