is one piece episode 103 filler?

Episode 103 starts off with Luffy looking at the piece of paper Ace gave him. He ponders what it is and why Ace gave it to him.

The rest of the crew also look at it and also conclude that it is just a piece of paper. Since it is so important to Luffy, Nami sews it on the inside of his hat.

Vivi is looking onward and tells the rest of the crew that Yuba is only past the distant rock. Meanwhile in Crocodile's lair, he and Miss All Sunday are discussing their plan.

Miss All Sunday says that all preparations are in place and they can carry out the plan in two days.
