Essentially King Crimson can erase or skip time. This is much different then time stop because rather than pausing for 10 seconds he cuts out those 10 seconds from existance. Like The World, King Crimson's ability doesn't affect its user, allowing Diavolo to move around during the non existant time. However because that time doesn't exist nothing Diavolo does during that time actually happens (i.e. if he decapitated someone during erased time, afterwards the person would be unscathed because that act was erased). After time is erased people will be in the positions that they would be 10 seconds later, this is because erasing time is essentially taking 1 point on a timeline (point A) and a later point on a timeline (point B) and cutting out the middle (making point AB). King Crimson can also predict 10 seconds into the future which allows Diavolo to erase time at the perfect moment and easily escape from future attacks. It's different from The World because The World is better for offense, while King Crimson is better for defense (which perfectly links up to the users personalities).
