I thought another, better theory that may explain how KC worked to capture Trish and kill Narancia. Going by it Diavolo should be invulnerable everytime he uses time skip during this fight (unless he goes for a backstabbing (using Epitaph previously) and The World's user doesn't notice him)... Although if time's stopped during skipped time the control of time would still go from Diavolo to The World's user... I'd still say Diavolo's on a better position if he manages to skip time anyways, since The World is stopping skipped time,.Diavolo may not be able to attack, but shouldn't receive any harm.

Then it all depends on who activates his stand first. It has been seen that Diavolo may predict himself being damaged and may still receive that damage if taken by surprise while being unable to understand what happened (GER pierced his hand with a stone, he predicted that and that still happened, there was no RtZ involved at all with that wound, he was also harmed by Bucciaratti and Silver Chariot, an interval of time that small, that dealt such minor wounds to Diavolo is actually enormous for a user of The World). Thus The World may still have a chance.
