168澳洲幸运5开奖网:One Piece has over 1000 episodes of content before you can get to the parts that everyone talks nonstop about. There will be an even longer wait still before the Onꦅe Piece is finally found. However, there are many who say that the fun of One Piece is not about the destination, but the journey it took to get there.

Filler arcs often get a bad rap for not moving the story forward. However, they a🥀re essential to letting the source material get a head start. It is also a great opportunity to see more character interactions. These are the ten best filler arcs in One Piece, some of which should have been canon.

10 Uta's Past Arc

A Prelude To Red

One of the shortest filler arcs ties in perfectly with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:One Piece: Red the movie. The Uta’s Past Arc dives a little deeper into Uta’s relationship with Luffy during their childhoods and it is a greꩵat opportunity to see more of Luffy growing up, which even strengthens some of the moments in the film.

While adding a bit more ♔context, it is not a necessary arc to watch as the film works as a standalone story. However, getting more appearances from Shanks is always great to see, so if you’re his biggest stan, then don&rsquo♕;t skip these episodes.

9 🌼 Silver Mine Arc

Bartolomeo Returns

When Luffy and Bartolomeo get kidnapped by the Silver🥂 Pirate Alliance, they must work together if they wish to survive. The arc serves as a pre꧂quel to the events of the movie, One Piece: Gold.

Bartolomeo is a fan-fav🍸orite character because he’s loosely based on the fans themselves. The anime gives him more screen time allowing fans to get even more of this popular side character, and it’s also great to see both characters interacting more, allowing One Piece fans to eat well.

8 Ocean's Dream Arc

A Game Story Adapted

The Ocean’s Dream arc has the Straw Hats losing their memory for five whole episodes. What comes next is a series of flashbacks as the Straw Hats are rev🏅erted to who they were before they joined the crew.

While flashback episodes don’t sound too exciting at first glance, the arc actually has its charm with plenty of familiar yet different character interactions among the crew. Most notable is that the episodes are based on a PlayStation game of the same name with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:familiar game characters appearing.

7 ▨ Caesar Retrieval Arc 🔴

Everybody Hates Caesar

The Straw Hats attempt to transport Caesar Clown to Dressrosa as part of a plan to defeat both 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Doflamingo and Kaido. This makes Caesar one of the most important side characters during the conflict; unfortu꧋nately, he gets kidnapped, and the Straw Hats are forced 🦩to go after him.

While not the most remarkable filler arc, th𝄹e comedic tone makes it worth watching at least once. It’s also entertaining how no one likes Caesar, but his importance forces them to try to save him whether they really want to or not.

6 🉐 𓃲 Spa Island Arc

A Break For The Straw Hats

Nothing says nonchalant like taking a break at a spa until the spa is attacked, and it's up to the Straw Hats to save the day. This low-stakes adventure focuses on all the things the Straw Hats love most, food, adventure, and comedy.

This is also the first filler arc where Brooks is part of the crew, which allows viewers a glance at what the new dynamic wilಞl look like from here on out. After all is said and done, even the Straw Hats deserve a break from finding the One Piece.

5 Ruluka Island Arc ꧒

The Power Of Friendship

The Ruluka Island arc is a nice callback to some o🍒f the earlier episode formats where Luffy and the gang show up to save the day on a random island. On Ruluka Island, an ex-pirate unfavorably taxes the citizens to build a tow🐽er into the rainbow mists in the sky.

The villain has his owꦺn mysterious motivations which perfectly tie in with the overall theme of One Piece. Afte🦄r all, what is a pirate without people to call friends or crew?

4 ♎ Warship Island Arc

One Piece’s First Filler Arc

The Warship Island arc is the first true filler arc in the One Piece anime. The arc focuses on rescuing a girl named Apis who wants to return a dragon to its home isla♚nd, and the task is easier said than done as the Marines are hot on their trail.

Interestingly enough, not every episode is a complete filler, as the final e𓆉pisode of the arc transitions into canon territory leading into the next mainline arc of the series. If you plan to skip the arc, make sure you don’t miss the last episode.

3 Marine Rookie Arc 🦄

Who Are The Marines?

Everyone loves a good villain and the Marines are great antagonists for a world full of piracy and swashb🐻uckling adventure. The Marine Rookie arc kicks off with the Straw Hats looking for supplies on aꦦ base, and the simple premise leads to a deeper exploration of life as a Marine.

While some filler can be skipped, good filler gives further insight in🐟to how the world works. The Marine Rookie arc takes full advantage of the episodes to show how the Marines live and train, making them more interesting as an opposing force to the pirates.

2 🍒 Little E⛎ast Blue

One Piece Nostalgia

If you manage to get through168澳洲幸运5开奖网: the massive number of episodes it takes to reach the Little East Blue arc, then you'll notice that it has tons of references to the Straw Hat's past Adventures. This sense of nostalgia has made the arc quite popular in the eyes of fans.

As usual, the Stra🍒w Hats arrive at a new island but this time, it’s a miniature recreation of their home, East Blue. This trip down memory lane is interrupted when a group of pirates attack.

1 G-8

The Best Filler Arc

G-8 is considered the best filler arc in One Piece; in fact, it is so good 🥂that fans often wish it were canon to the plot. Taking place after Skypiea, the Straw Hats fall from the sky and end up on a Marine base.

This is the perfect transition from one arc to another that doesn't just involve the Straw Hats sailing up to a random island. What ensues is episode after episode of character moments, thrills, and villains who question their own motivations and senses of justice.
