The fillers in One Piece are episodes or arcs that are not part of the original story of the manga by Eiichiro Oda. They are created in the anime to prevent the plot from catching up to the manga chapters. This guide presents a complete list of filler episodes, mixed and canonical from the anime, as well as highlighting the exclusive arcs and their main characteristics.
The One Piece anime does not usually have as many fillers as Naruto. Its biggest problem is the canonical episodes that occur at an extremely slow pace, adapting only one chapter per episode (the normal is 4).

List of Filler Episodes:
