Or course, we could have 4 flashbacks of the series in a row again with only 10 seconds of new content every episode. We can only make Luffy remember what he has done, what Buggy has done and what Mr 3 has done.
The Detective Luffy isn't even in the same universe, of course it doesn't sync up. But these episodes are. You say "ooh it's a movie special". That'd be fine if it was one episode or an hour long episode. But no, this thing is at least 4 episodes long, that's not a special, that's a goddamn filler arc. And this is the first time in One Piece that a filler arc has ever bent time in order to exist.

It's shitty when Bleach does it, and it's shitty now that One Piece is doing it.
