Yeah, they basically skipped the whole part with Luffy improvising and seemingly goofing around. That and the "There are things I cannot do and that is why I am nothing without my comrades" thing was left out, which is a shame because it established so much of his character. Then agin, I guess that wasn't very important for the special.
