To be honest, the Five Elders were somewhat conflicted now.
Katakuri's request was perfectly reasonable. After all, this battlefield had truly become dangerous beyond measure.
Any random blast from an Ancient Weapon would be a devastating disaster for people who had once ruled the seas.

The other Five Elders nodded lightly, naturally agreeing with him.
There was no need to pay any attention to these people. All they had to do next was press forward in one go and blast every enemy away.

To be honest, they did not hold the advantage either. Even if the battle continued, the situation would remain extremely deadlocked.
What if Katakuri really did
