Luffy battles:
- IMU for freedom;
- BB for the means of creating the new world after IMU;
- Coby to decide if the new world should have borders and a central administrative power a la Marines or not.
They're all different facets of what OP is trying to say on governments, control, and utopias.
IMU has to be taken down because people aren't free under him, and the entire world will be destroyed otherwise.
BB has to be taken down because him getting the One Piece could lead to a future several times worse than the actual WG.
BB will likely help against IMU.
Coby will be an ally against BB.
Both IMU and BB are unnecessary evils that need to be dealt with.
Coby isn't. Coby is Luffy's other side of the "good guys" coin.
Luffy vs Coby, in the epilogue, is an ideological fight. You've taken down the dictator; you've prevented the eldritch monster from engulfing the world in eternal darkness. Now it's the dawn of a new world. Do we trust that people can govern themselves, or will selfish, power-hungry wannabe dictators always arise no matter what? And if so, shouldn't we have a policing force making sure this doesn't happen and that the weak aren't taken advantage of?
Luffy will embody an anarchistic POV, claiming that people can take care of themselves, that there will always also be someone who protects their nakama.
Coby, on the other hand, will want a "clean" Navy, actually focused on helping the people this time, without the CD bullshit.
I think, in the end Luffy will realize this, and will hand himself over to the new Navy to validate their ability to neutralize potential threats. Luffy's surrender will end the age of piracy, and signal the beginning of the One World Government under the banner of the sun.
