There was never any indication in the manga that Diavolo committed the act himself although he most certainly gave the order. That part always stood out to me as out of place, as Diavolo is definitely irredeemable but doesn't come close to Cioccolata in terms of pure sadism. Also, why would Diavolo do the dirty work himself? I guess in the manga it was just some unspecified hitman who committed the actual deed but it fits so well for Cioccolata, as he has the knowledge on medicine and human anatomy, so he was able to cut a person apart slowly without killing too soon. What a coincidence for Araki to introduce a character later on in the story that would actually fit the bill for carrying out the most gruesome orders.
