King Crimson has the power to predict up to ten seconds into the future, and "erase time", effectively causing a time skip, where everything except itself and Diavolo is suddenly changed to be in the state they would have been a short time later (usually 3-10 seconds later). Time still flows normally for Diavolo, who can interact (or not interact, he can choose which objects to interact with) with the time-skipped objects for the amount of time that would have normally intervened (to Diavolo this appears in the form of the would-have-been intervening objects' states being superimposed on each other, in a fashion akin to Nude Descending a Staircase). The nature of the time skip is such that, for example, he predicts a bullet coming at him, and erases the time that it would have hit him in. To the viewer a bullet that would have hit Diavolo will suddenly be shifted to be on his other side as where it would be seconds later.
Diavolo cannot actually interact with anything during the time King Crimson is erasing, but he can position himself to attack his enemy's most vulnerable spot for an almost certain kill. The "blood drop method" for detecting his timeskip is based on attacking your least guarded side where Diavolo is most likely to appear.

Vinegar Doppio
Vinegar Doppio (ヴィネガー・ドッピオ Vinegā Doppio) is Diavolo's young, innocent, and bizarre second personality. He considers himself as Diavolo's most trusted subordinate. Doppio acts as a disguise for Diavolo, when he interacts socially with others in the outside world. He turns into Diavolo whenever someone finds out about Diavolo's identity. Doppio communicates with Diavolo with an object that only Doppio hears ringing, making people think that he's insane, or scary (to what children think of him). Doppio usually makes the sound とぅるるるる~ (Turururu~), which is similar to a phone ringing.Doppio means "Double" in Italian, showing his nature as Diavolo's second personality.
