is one piece episode 294 filler?

After Kumadori's defeat, Chopper goes on a wild frenzy in his Monster form, knocking Franky over in the process. In the tunnel, Spandam gloats to Robin that once they cross the Gates of Justice, Robin's hopes will be dashed.

Luffy calls out to Robin forcing Spandam to take Robin the rest of the way. Luffy then confronts Lucci in a storage room.

In the storage room, Lucci admires the Straw Hat captain's skill and Luffy couldn't have done so without his friends. Meanwhile, Chopper climbs the tower while Zoro is still bound to Usopp at a disadvantage against Kaku and Jabra.
