Even if it wasn't an Akuma, Allen tried to focus on the fight in front of him. At least it wasn't anything human. He didn't think he'd have the heart to fight. The squirrel was a lot smarter than he'd thought though, or faster at the very least. But when the squirrel grasped on, the Innocence crackled with life and burned the creature's skin and whatever else might be touching the weapon. Good thing Rhode was clear of his arm or she'd have a difficult time regenerating from his attack.

Though Allen could usually lift hundreds of pounds easily using his Innocence, he himself was only a little over a hundred pounds. He was pulled forward, though he tried to drag his feet on the ground, but it wasn't enough to upend his balance. His long, hooked fingers, each one now several feet long, curled around the squirrel's body and he squeezed, burning and crushing the rodent at the same time.
