is one piece episode 48 filler?

Upon arriving at Loguetown, the crew separate to tour the town and shop for goods. However, the Marine captain stationed in Loguetown, Smoker, is informed of Luffy's activity in East Blue.

Smoker leaves his post to search the town for Luffy, instead battling and defeating another pirate, Gally. Smoker then helps Luffy locate the historic execution platform, unaware he is the fugitive he is looking for.

Luffy goes to the Gold Roger bar, whose owner personally met Roger when he arrived in Loguetown. After a brief conversation, Luffy departs, only for Smoker to enter immediately after.
