shouldn't it be "of anybody"?

Native check needed

definitely "of anybody" (no double negatives in English)but
"without anybody's help" sounds more natural.

"of nobody" and similar double negatives are sometimes used, but it's non-standard, and generally gives the impression that the speaker is not intelligent and comes from the middle of nowhere.
