He needed to launch two attacks on him, but the pistol was out of bullets, and guns were useless against him.
The four bullets were completely exhausted, but I had completely seen through his ability—
He could easily catch bullets, but he didn't catch my second bullet? He could clearly catch bullets with ease... Diavolo thought seriously. Although time was erased, no attack was made—
Fifteen seconds passed!
The time erasure suddenly ended. Polnareff suddenly found only Johnson Joffrey on the beach?!
"What's going on?!" Polnareff looked around in surprise for Diavolo—
"He's gone?" Polnareff stared at the empty beach in disbelief. "Did he run away? Impossible, Diavolo shouldn't run away, but why is only Joffrey left?!"
Polnareff watched Johnson Joffrey from afar. He knew that Diavolo certainly wouldn't run away; he must be up to some scheme. But Johnson Joffrey remained in his original posture—
It was really similar. Johnson's appearance was very much like DIO's, but his current action was simply waiting, waiting for Diavolo to attack him—
Johnson had completely given up on schemes or finding solutions. His mind held only the same thought as Jotaro once did—
The moment I see Diavolo's face again, I will use my fastest speed and strength to smash his head in—
That's all.
Diavolo climbed onto the embankment above the beach.
Running away was impossible. He had just seen through Johnson Joffrey's ability. The reason he left was entirely due to his Epitaph ability—
The vision Epitaph showed was—
[Johnson Joffrey was crushed by a car.]
Epitaph couldn't be fully trusted. After several failures, Diavolo, though confident in his ability, had to clearly assess the situation now. He was incredibly cautious.
For me, all my past will completely disappear once I kill Johnson Joffrey. Even if I lose Passione, or my beloved daughter, as long as I can erase the past, I will be invincible!
Johnson Joffrey, why?! Why do you pursue me so relentlessly?!
Diavolo's gaze fell on the red sports car in the distance—I'll use that to flatten Johnson Joffrey... "Epitaph!!"
Epitaph unfolded again, and he saw—
"The car is constantly rushing forward, suddenly appearing in Johnson Joffrey's direction. He won't dodge; he'll just keep hitting the car with his fists—"
"Johnson Joffrey, even though dodging would yield the best outcome, you're still unwilling to dodge. Then you're as good as dead—"
Considering he didn't dodge my second attack, he can only pause the attack of one object, and there must be an interval during the second defense, an interval at least as long as two bullets—
Diavolo, during Time Erase, cannot change anything other than himself. However, he wants to make other objects a part of himself, just like clothes. He jumped onto the car and pressed the accelerator.
Suddenly, the engine roared with a long howl. Diavolo accelerated the red supercar to its maximum speed and drove it over from the coast—
"Clang! Clang!!"
The red sports car, on the seawall, was driven directly by Diavolo without hesitation towards Johnson Joffrey, suddenly breaking through the guardrail on the dam with a sound of twisting metal—
The moment he broke through the metal guardrail, Diavolo shouted again:
"King Crimson!! Take me beyond time!!!"
Time began to skip again. Everything in front of Diavolo turned into slow motion. He immediately jumped out of the driver's seat and landed on the beach—
Then he looked back and saw himself—
"That's right!! This is my power! I have transcended time, but the period of time I skipped will still proceed according to the future I saw in my Epitaph—"
"No one can change the future in Epitaph but me!!" Diavolo laughed maniacally—
Diavolo spread his arms and laughed uproariously, the red King Crimson behind him laughing as wildly as he was.
"My power has grown stronger! This is all thanks to you! Johnson Joffrey! I will not forget you!!"
Diavolo tore open the wound on his arm, which had been slashed by Polnareff earlier, and blood gushed out, instantly splashing towards Johnson's eyes—
"This way, when I end Time Erase, you will preemptively defend against the damage to your eyes!!"
"This is your first attack!! Johnson Joffrey!!!" Diavolo shouted.
Johnson Joffrey watched as the shadow of the sports car grew closer and closer—
"Johnson, quickly get out of the way!!" Polnareff shouted loudly, his eyes bloodshot, wanting to help, but his wheelchair made a metallic sound.
"Why isn't he dodging?" Polnareff said in surprise, "Although the car is falling from the sky very fast, judging from Joffrey's speed just now, he could dodge it. Is he overconfident in his ability to be immune to all attacks?"
The car was completely deformed by the punches—
Diavolo let out a low chuckle—
"Thirty-seven seconds!!!!" he roared as if from the depths of his soul, "It's been thirty-seven seconds now!!!"
"My King Crimson can now erase a full thirty-seven seconds of time!!!"
"I can now erase up to half a minute of time!!"

This is the Reversed Hierophant drawn by the artist [Winter Pear], truly a perfect Stand.
The good news is, Johnson Joffrey finally doesn't look like Fugo and actually looks fourteen... Let's also put up a King Crimson.
Reversed Hierophant: King Crimson, I've already beaten you in terms of looks!
