Im just curious to hear about your Ideal one piece filler arc.
in short add a brief summary of the plot to the arc. since its not official anywhere feel free to add an ending
and guys
no One Piece has no filler comments.
My personal one is an island that negates Devil Fruit powers. we'd get to see how strong luffy is without his devil fruit.
All of this forum's sections don't concern One Piece. You might want to try another section called: General One Piece.
Could we maybe move the thread there ?
Cause I'd like to respond to this !
yeah may you move it? I'd like to see some fun answers.
As of now, while I understand what Oda's doing by throwing scraps along the road to getting to know all of the Straw Hats' changes, I'd really appreciate some consecutive chapters with the Straw Hats chatting it up and chilling on the Sunny - no interruptions. Just reminiscing back on their adventures during the two year timeskip and telling tales of their triumphs. To be honest, One Piece feels a bit claustrophobic at the moment, it needs to have a few chapters to air out.
Would that be filler though? I wouldn't consider it that (and I'd never apply that term to the manga), but if you wanted to apply the term filler to it I guess if they were like "wow this booze is good" then that'd be the fillery part, and there'd be a lot of that. Again, I don't like applying the term filler, because even something that's not related to the direct plot is still part of the story, in this instance it'd be applying some relaxing relief from all of the action.
oda's side stories ARE FREE CONTENT AND DIRECTIONS TO GOOD FILLERS, but nope, fuck it, let's have a heat heat fat man who can heat up his tits instead of Crocodile and Co. side story and how they reached impel down or what happened to the cp9 after the fight.

Hey, that's how I feel about it! Why doesn't Toei Animation animate Oda's cover stories, instead of making up usually unmemorable filler stories (with an exception of the G8 Arc), with infamously annoying filler children? It would be much more interesting to see Miss Goldenweek's reunion mission, Enel's adventures on the moon, Gedatsu's life on land, and post-Enies Lobby CP9, rather than some random story about Rainbow Mist or whatever else.

My thoughts exactly. I was hoping that that would happen on the way down to Fishman Island, but, nope, Swamp-ass the nobody had to completely spoil the mood…
I'd like to see a filler arc where some crazy fan's of Brook try to kidnap him because they are such big fans, I don't know why I would find this entertaining.

I kinda had an idea similar to your "DF negating island", but I kinda think throwing in a little PH type of havoc could make the arc just as fun and/or funny. Imagine an island, where it's either the magnetic field of the island doing it, or someone on the island who has the power to switch DF abilities around to those w/ other DF powers or non-DF users (and this includes our non-SH members). Seeing how some of the non-DF members would react to having one of their crewmate or non-crewmate's powers has a bit of potential. Imagine if Sanji, through some miracle, got to use Robin's fruit. XD Not only would his imagination run wild, but he'd be able to make a bunch of Diable Jambes. XDD Or if Usopp got Luffy's powers and tried to do G2 or G3 (w/o knowing how to control it) and completely failing and/or smacking into stuff. Or Zoro w/ Law's ability…he wouldn't know where to "shambles" anything and would get lost in his own "room". XDD Plus, if someone were to be given Chopper's fruit (while Chopper would be turned back into a regular reindeer), we'd finally be able to see how "enlightened" someone could be w/ the Human-Human fruit. Anyway, that's my idea. I know it's not too good, but I'd rather sit through this than some of the crap like the Little East Blue or Z Filler Arcs. XP
Ideal ? The uncomplicated stories of the Rainbow Mist/Goat Island/Memory Loss arcs.
Just simple little diversions that don't try to pretend they are more then what they really are, unlike the last two proper filler arcs we've had, which we're both movie tie ins and which both more or less sucked, because:
1: They both claimed to be tied into the movies, and really weren't beyond "hey these guys who will not show up or be refferenced at all in the movie this is supposed to be tying into are going to wreck shit for these people who won't appear or be refferenced in the movie" and
2: claimed they'd be exciting, which they weren't, given their meandering pace, badly written characters and a lack of any story beyond "Bad guys wreck shit, beat them up, but in a lame, underpowered way so you could still be threatened by irrelevant bullshit for the sake of raising tension". I mean the Amigo pirates were beaten by villaigers lightly pelting them with tiny little egg-sized rocks that kinda landed in their general direction and the bad guys in the Z tie in consisted of the long arm guy and a bunch of suicidal idiots who can't even run their submarines into the general surroundings of a completely motionless target.
G-8 was an ideal filler.
But that was back in the day when One Piece anime wasn't the abomination it is today.
Please do something with Chameleone! His design is too good for some little show.

I know that every single animation frame wasn't a work of modern art even before the timeslot changed but still I remember alot more reeeeally offmodel and generally fugly looking scenes after then I remember before.
Also Tate (?) aka the guy who ruined the Robin pre-timeskip scenes at TW with his really distracting artwork, wasn't a guy they used back then, at least not visibly.

The more popular One Piece has grown, the less care Toei has treated it with.
And Tate has a really polarizing artstyle that you either love or hate, but he has undeniably great animation.
I love the idea of the DF negating island, hope that it happens.
My ideal One Piece filler is one that you couldn't tell wasn't actually canon. Unless you read the manga of course. The thing is I have these friends who love OP but only watch the anime, and only through me, but they can always tell when an episode is filler and they tell me to skip it. We got to G-8 and they think that it's part of the canon! It was just really cool because that and some other filler (like the Brook episode around 382) were actually really entertaining and we really wanted to watch them.
In short, I want filler that feels like it adds to the story, rather than creating an unnecessary feeling side story.
Im going to try my hardest to not make this sound like bad fanfiction.
the episode count would be around 10-15 episodes. and take place inbetween PH and Dressrosa
On the waters near the DF negating island, the crew awakens only to find Luffy, Robin, Chopper, Brook, and Law, and CC feeling sluggish. Suddenly without much warning a Strong new World Hurricane comes out of nowhere Violently shaking the Sunny Toward the island and Blowing Luffy's hat away in the process. Luffy fails in grabbing it, because to his shock His arm wont stretch, and thus the crew learns of their predicament. Luffy loves his hat too much to simply abandon it, and so begins a hunt for it on an island that negates DF powers. On this island there is are large feral Animals who can kill you if you don't know Haki. Deep within the woods of the island a base is found where a small group of Local milita men (this is the New World so yes they are extremely proficient in Soru and Haki techniques) and scientists are discussing a way to completely demolish Devil Fruits from the rest of the world, and using the special Tree pollen found on the island they wish to make a powerful Pathogen bomb and unleash it on various islands of the grand line as well as sell it off. As the strawhats catch wind of this they must now stop the Army and their scheme before the balance of the world is Shattered. and just what has happened to Luffy's hat?
this leads to another small storyline where luffy gets his hat back but due to his skin absorbing the pollen stuck in it he gets extremely sick and begins to dream about what were to happen in he fought the villains of the past with his current DF Powers, during his treatment. a flashback arc on how far he's come
this entire thing is about 25 episodes and would be a nice means of spacing the two arcs with nice-flowing Action.
Just for Lolz i'll call it Muggle Island.
My ideal filler arc in between Punk Hazard and Dressrosa would be Law thinking of or telling Luffy, Chopper, Robin, or the whole crew about an island him and the Heart Pirates were on either in the North Blue on their way to the Grandline, or the Grandline on their way to Sabaody Archipelago. No Dofla or stuff like that. Just them having a random adventure on a unique island that the Strawhats couldn't see. It'd be popular (Law has a massive following) and we'd get to see what the Heart Pirates are like. Plus, it wouldn't interfere with canon.
Aside from the here and now, I'd like a What-If arc where Luffy (and possibly Ace) became a Marine.
A well done gender-swapped AU arc, with complex portrayals of the characters that keeps their strength and integrity intact, would really make my day. I don't know what kind of plot I would want, but since it is an AU I would want it to be a serious, high stakes scenario so the characters could really show their stuff in a way that is comparable to the main series. A rescue-based plot would be tricky to execute to anyone's satisfaction. But maybe the crew could try to oust the horrible king of some island only to have the world government send in some of our favorites Marines to try to keep the bad guy in power. Lots of opportunities to show off people's moral judgement and fighting skills.
Naturally there should be a healthy serving of gratuitous fanservice and lots of funny moments, but I'd want all the lolz without compromising the badass-ness of badass characters. (Or, for that matter, the weakness of weak characters, the annoyingness of annoying characters, etc.)
It'll never happen, but wouldn't it be fun if it did?
I want to see lady Franky's post-timeskip appearance, and hear lady Brook sing.
1.) Do the cover-stories. There's enough content there for at around 20 episodes I guess. They could even bring back Ace. Honestly expected Toei to jump all over that for the merchandise potential alone.
2.) The 'Time' stories. Or build upon them like they did with the Chopperman filler episode.
3.) If they absolutely have to do a filler arc. How about having a filler arc where Zoro, Sanji and Luffy get captured/whatever to be written out for 7 eps or so and the rest of the crew have to get them out. Imagine having Usopp having to take on the main villain, and win.
What about a filler arc about Vice Admiral Jonathan: he's on the list to be one of the next admirals but if he steps up he can't keep running G8 the way he has (which because of Akainu's plan to eventual declare full war on the New World has been moved to said New World), so he comes up with a plot to lure the strawhats into the new G8 and through a series of plot and events and stuff it is proven that G8 will be crucial to Akainu's master plan, but G8 also needs Jonathan to function as well as it can and so he can respectfully decline or fall out of the running for vice admiral because he couldn't catch the strawhats (but maybe that was his plan all along?)
how does that sound?
I think I would like a filler arc of "What if Luffy and Ace joined the Marines". I really enjoy alternate timeline fillers like the feudal japan one, chopper-man and the one piece omakes.
Sniper Island…is in your heart!
Ivankovfest. Nuff said, nuff done, nuff mentioned.
Or maybe another mini Chopperman thing.
including Novas in it.

going off that idea…. we can go deeper.
luffy awakens to find him and all of the other strawhats in the marines (none of them remember anything about being pirates except him)..... Luffy naturally doesnt wan't to be a member of the marines. he espically gets mad when he's told that his hat was confiscated due to it's orgins. and tries to convince his crew to become pirates with him again to no avail. after getting more and more frustrated luffy suddenly learns that Ace is alive in this world...
suddenly luffy is torn between his quest to become a pirate and letting Ace go.... naturally he eventually comes to terms with Ace but the mental journey could be a precurser of sorts to whats about to happen in dressrosa. also just to be a dick.... Garp betrayed the marines and was executed on the spot.
luffy learns of this and regathers his crew and ace to join him in fighting for Garp's sake against the marines..... but when luffy learns of who he must face to get there... he suddenly has a gross realization about just WHO he's fighting against in the new world.
as luffy's group gets captured by the marines and executed one by one.... luffy's dream comes crashing around him..... and at the very end he is "killed" by Akainu
waking him up.
and of course this is all a dream, but it's supposed to be obviously a dream ad focus more on luffy's mental state post Paramount War. it would also serve as a little what-if.

That would be awesome
Two words: Cover. Stories.
I Would like to see an Arc From The Pirate King And His Crew all his Crew…
What I would want to see?
Hmm…
See, I would love to see filler arc from Marine perspective. You know, other perspective would be really nice. Marines could really use some good press, all things consider. I, for one, simply do not consider them villains, so I would love to see them being effective at their jobs. You know, saving people from pirates and stuff.
Crap, I really wanna see a filler arc based on the Gedatsu's Blue Sea Life cover story… Hilarity would definitely ensue.
