No Akainu didn't hold back. You're reading two piece if you think that.
I want to address this DF matchup misconception people have on Akainu v Aokiji
Aokiji's DF if im not mistaken, is the Cold-Cold fruit not the Ice-Ice fruit. Meaning he can super cool objects to the point they get turned to ice
Akainu is magma, which when super cooled gets turned to solid crystal like substances depending on the rate of cooling. Meaning akainu would get turned to solid at cold temperatures which would make him vulnerable to critical hits, add Haki on those attacks and it becomes even more dangerous.
But Akainu can generate even more Magma which will help him counter it meaning he remains in logia form continuously.
There was no disadvantage for Aokiji in this matchup. Both fruits were equal here.
P.S pls dont blame me if there is some incorrect scientific logic here, i found this shit on google

Akainu's DF is superior to fire DF. Plain and simple where ace's attack was equally cancelled by aokiji's.
So akainu does have an advantage against aokiji.
Also aokiji can't freeze akainu due to him being magma man but akainu can coat haki with his punches which can damage aokiji.
Basically akainu indeed had an advantage. Not big one but it's still there.
