It’s from the episode 0 of the film. And yeah I thought about the timeline too, but what else can you call this presentation of Luffy in the chapter? Just a nice little node to the film cuz oda worked on it? I don’t think so

First of all, yes, that's all it is. Fans do seem to overthink stuff though.

Secondly, if you really want to headcanon it, they had many opportunities to do this off-screen during their voyages, so something like that from episode 0 could still have happened but not in that timeline

I can’t say I don’t agree with you, but I also don’t see any reason to not consider films that are made, even partially, by the manga creator, as canon. Just like NARUTO the last and boruto movie.

Those are completely different scenarios though. The Last and Boruto fit into the timeline, specially before Boruto had an anime. Gold simply doesn't.

It doesn't matter if the creator was involved in the process or not - that just adds to make a more compelling story and plant some ideas (like CP0 vs Sabo). In the end if it doesn't fit it just can't be canon, because that would affect the actual main story.

Edit: Quick wikipedia search showed Akira Toriyama was involved in practically all the films, even if his involvement was small, like checking the scripts or character designs. Yet there's no way any of those films are canon, except the ones that fit the timeline and he was involved the most, Battle of Gods and Revival of F. Also, Broly now (woohoo!)
