Luffy has Yonko crew behind him, whats your point?
Oda designed the story for fighting against the Yonko.
ODA: ''It was supposed to be a story to fight against pirates called Yonko. However, I came up with the idea of Shichibukai... I just thought, it would be badass if these characters showed up, then as you can see, it caused this long serialization!!''
Oda: ''Vivi was introduced as an agent of Baroque Works, but I had no idea of her setup more than that. When I drew her with her hair down, she looked like a princess. What would happen if she were the princess of Alabasta? That's how I started to think about the Alabasta arc. ''
He didn't plan the Shichibukai and Vivi being from Alabasta at the beginning of the story, that means the powers of the Government came later, Yonko was the main plan.
