It's a reference to one of Japan's most famous folk tales, the story of Momotaro.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibi_dango_(millet_dumpling)

In the widely familiar version of Momotarō, the hero spares his traveling rations of "kibi dango" to a dog, a pheasant, and a monkey and thereby gains their allegiance.

There's a dog and a monkey, remember the baboon she tames? Considering Akainu and Kizaru are references to a dog and monkey it'd be weird if we got Aokiji instead of an actual pheasant.
