Agreed. There is still an open possibility that she works for Cipher Pol. Ever since before Wano began, there has been a significant amount of focus on the fact that the World Government does not control Wano. CP0 agents visited Orochi personally. They protected Doflamingo and arrived in Dressrosa, and we were told that Doflamingo was the middleman to trade with Wano and currently they have to deal with a wild card being Orochi himself. This very chapter we are told that Wano is in a way FREE because the WG or Marines have no hold over it.
Do we actually know when Wano started trading Seastone with the World Government? This may never happened when the Kozuki Clan was in charge, but with Orochi, Doflamingo and Kaido there is money to be made. Doflamingo made money from all sorts of characters, no loyalty from him. Wano could be the biggest producer and most reliable source of seastone for the WG. Vegapunk hasn't been around for 800 years, he only recently started producing all theses amazing things which includes his work with seastone and Wano's supply might be essential to his work, forcing the government to make a plan to acquire it from Wano.
The old lady could have brushed shoulders with Shiki in in her prime. We don't know his exact appearance back then. Surely Cipher Pol was there to defend the Celestial Dragons anytime Rocks threatened them. She could have told Orochi to start exporting Seastone because it's an easy way to make money. A mythical Zoan should be quite easy for the World Government to provide, all the Admirals have powerful Devil Fruits and I doubt they just got lucky sailing in the sea. Telling Orochi to manufacture weapons and giving him that DF was for his own defense, as the other Daimyo clans could violently overthrow him and set the WG's plan back to square one. Orochi got upset he was being manipulated by a spy, killed this woman and sought out an alliance with pirate Kaido who has ties to Onigashima. The WG losing influence to Kaido was definitely not part of the plan, but as long as the seastone is flowing the status quo works just fine.
I gotta be honest here, I don't think Shiki will play any significant role in the manga whatsoever.
Big Mom settled and created Tottoland's food archipelago from scratch. Kaido should be capable of taking over an already established Wano by making a plan with a crafty woman he met in the Rocks crew. Taking an island as powerful and isolated as Wano from the inside makes a lot more sense than dumping countless young Yonko army resources to subdue it by force. By the time Oden was made a criminal and executed, Kaido and his men were already on the inside and just obeying the Shogun.
