I guess in Phantom Blood Dio’s interested in rounding up a bunch of “evil elite” he can power up into super zombie minions.  The version of Pucci that Dio spends time with in Stone Ocean, that Pucci isn’t evil yet, it’s still raw potential.  So I don’t think PB Dio would “get” why Stone Ocean Dio took an interest in seminary student Pucci.  But the Pucci in EoH, that’s full-on evil adult Pucci, so I think PB Dio’d be okay with him.
