[Question] is the movie 9 a remake of the drum island arc ?

['Ray]

.??

If yes , then should i watch it instead if watching the original arc?

[ziggyZ]

No! It's a remake of it but a remake of "what if drum island happened after Water 7.
And it won't make sense until you've watched up to W7 becasue they Luffy uses his new powers.

^Pretty much this. Watch the anime, not the movie.
