With him though, there's a lot of wiggle room. Most of his screen time has been during hostile situations, like the Battle of Marineford or the Ohara Buster Call, so we've never seen him in a situation that was lax by comparison, such as a briefing in his office or something like that. As we saw with Jewelry Bonney, he is fully capable of being civil and polite (special circumstances aside). It doesn't make sense for him to be bloodthirsty and ruthless when there isn't even any conflict to justify it. One thing I'm trying to show with Reverie is how delicate of a political situation it is, and Sakazuki's ability to acknowledge that and act accordingly.
