As a Navy Admiral, Akainu naturally had more than one Den Den Mushi. To calm him down, Doflamingo contacted him again.
This time, it took a full half hour before Akainu's stern face appeared on the Den Den Mushi.
Doflamingo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had truly been afraid that Akainu would lose his temper and sail straight for Mary Geoise.

"Sorry, Vice Admiral Steve. I was a little emotional just now." The moment the Den Den Mushi connected, before Doflamingo could speak, Sakazuki apologized first.
In his agitation, he had directly scalded the Den Den Mushi to death. For Akainu, whose methods were ruthless but whose personality was rigid, this already counted as a breach of etiquette.
"It's nothing, Admiral Sakazuki." Doflamingo shook his head, then asked directly, "Admiral, may I ask what exactly your relationship is with that little boy?"
