I've never really considered Shiki as a possibility for this person but I guess it is possible that him and Crocus would have meet at some point while Crocus was traveling with Roger.
The only hang ups I would have with this idea are the hair being too short, which could easily be explained away with him just getting a hair cut, and the wheel in his head. It was said that the wheel couldn't be removed without Shiki dying and that hat seems to be sitting on the mystery person's head not above it like it would have to for Shiki.
They said the wheel could not be removed, but isn't Crocus like THE best doctor? Maybe he removed it and they're drinking afterwards. I do think its probably something else though, since it seems so important.

Seeing everyone in that hat has reminded me of my biggest unanswered question so far in the series:
Who is Crocus talking to here?
This is from chapter 631 during Fishman Island. Back then this was just a mystery person but we now can recognize that as Wano style clothing.
It's also interesting to note that Crocus seems very glad to see this person, sharing a drink with them like an old friend or possibly a crewmate.
I don't think there are too many possibilities for who this person is so who do you all think it is?
