is one piece episode 974 filler?

The truth about Oden's sacrifices are revealed to the public, and feeling bad for mocking him over the years, they rushed to the execution site to cheer him on, hoping for his survival. However, Oden knows that he will not survive the execution, so he tells his retainers to open up the country in his name.

Meanwhile, Fukurokuju confronts Shinobu for telling everyone the truth, but Shinobu denounces the Orochi Oniwabanshu and pledges loyalty to the Nine Red Scabbards. Thirty minutes passed and Oden still stood strong, so Orochi ordered his men to further increase the temperature.
