Yes, definitly fillers. It's going to have to be completely unrelated to the storyline though. In my opinion they have four choices.
 * 1) Boss Luffy
 * 2) Chopperman
 * 3) More Mugiwara Theater (there's a lot they could animate).
 * 4) Go back and animate cover stories they skipped over. It would be fun to see CP9 again.
