is one piece episode 45 filler?

While the crew are at sea, a News Coo arrives to deliver a newspaper. They discover a wanted poster for Luffy, indicating he had received a bounty.

It is revealed that as Luffy defeated many of the most feared pirates in East Blue, the Marines saw him as a considerable threat and placed a bounty of thirty million bellies on his head, the largest in East Blue. The news reaches both Luffy's allies and old enemies, including Fullbody, who had been demoted to a lower rank after getting into a fight at the Baratie.
