I would think it would be harder to drag out sabo than marineford. There is more wiggle room in the marineford arc since the manga only showed certain parts of the battle, and not the battle as a whole, opening the door for guys like yukimura. The flashback does not cover as many characters as the war (meaning every single marine), so it will be faster. The only way there could be filler is if they make up adventures that Luffy, Ace, and Sabo have, or name some of the unnamed bandits. That's about it though.
