The entire point of King Crimson is that it allows him to change the fate he sees in Epitaph. With just Epitaph alone, even knowing what happens, you cannot change what happens in Epitaph's vision. King Crimson, however, allows Diavolo to change his fate if he sees something unfavorable happen to him in his time skip.
Here's the thing: King Crimson also has its own predestined actions. It can choose not to follow those actions, but it can still see its own. In the case of Trish and Narancia, the reasonable explanation is that King Crimson was already predestined to abduct Trish and kill Narancia. He simply erased time so that nobody would remember that he had.
Epitaph and King Crimson are both Diavolo’s stand, not “Epitaph is Doppio’s stand”. His first ability is to view a forecast of the future, projected from his hair. Whatever Epitaph projects is 100% fated to happen. This is where he uses his second ability to his advantage. King Crimson’s second ability is to skip up to ten seconds of ...
From JoJo Wiki. Concept art featured in the JOJOVELLER "History" booklet includes an early design of King Crimson, which lacks Epitaph (but still has the bump on its forehead where Epitaph would normally be) and has a facial structure appearing to be based off of a human skull, as well as what appears to be a hood (possibly inspired by the classical figure of Death).
King Crimson "deletes" a segment of time up to 10 seconds. In that period, everything still happens as it would have if time wasn't deleted, as events are tied to the same fate. It's just that no one will remember that segment of time happening. Then obviously Diavolo is the exception, he is the only one not tied to fate in the erased time.
King Crimson's ability, essentially, is the ability to step outside of the universe's timeline for a brief moment and circumvent a fated event. It deletes the time in which the action occurs and pulls time forward to the end of that event occurring. So, lets say I'm Diavolo, and someone goes to punch me. As they swing, I activate King Crimson.
King Crimson could do this as well if close enough as like Star Platinum, King Crimson has an A speed. More than fast enough to stop DIO from pulling any tricks. I've seen dozens of these threads with not just Diavolo, but loads of different characters that manipulate time through different means.
King Crimson is a needlessly complex time-related power that is portrayed very inconsistently and is hard to understand to begin with; skipping time has no obvious benefits in the same way that time stop does, so the actual benefits are in the details, details that often change, continuing to make it hard to grasp.
If King Crimson was actually skipping through time, we'd see things happen in a way that they don't play actually play out in the manga/anime. DIO and Pucci explained it best in Stone Ocean: all objects in the universe of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure are bound by fate, be they rocks, people, whathaveyou.
However, in the show every one's attacks are fated to happen, and that's why they are committed to their attacks during king crimson no matter what, king crimson just allows diavalo to bypass fate and do whatever he wants. But in real life, even if fate does exist, we don't have any way of detecting it.
