i agree, more or less

i would just say that from my perspective it's not that objects move (because i don't think that they even exist when they are, well, erased), but that they WOULD have moved, if time would not have been erased, and Diavolo sees those hypothetical "projections" of objects that "stretch" into their future positions, and so he positions himself accordingly to interact with them the moment they become "real" again
