How come the WG have invented superhuman robots that can fire lasers from their mouths, but haven't invented a plane yet?

Cause Its the Navy and Pirates. Not the Air Force and Air Pirates. It defeats the purpose of some themes.

Pacifistas are cyborgs, not robots created out of nothingness. I think it was already stated in this manga that they don't possess enough technology to create a robot out of nothing(iirc) but they could create cyborgs which are based on a human. Besides, we're in a pirate manga. It's just that Oda probably thought the usage of ships was more illustrative/representative of the type of mangas he was in.

Also, according to Sentomaru, the funds required for the construction of just one Pacifista are roughly equal to that of a Marine-issued battleship, so it seems to require a great amount of money. Maybe they don't have the necessary money to try to create a machine they are unable to make conceptual plans about

I think advanced technology would upset the theme Oda has created.

Dr. Vegapunk will lead the way

They totally do though. An old guy did it with his automatons.
That old guy in the cover stories tech > Vegapunks tech.

Jet's and Planes would ruin the whole Ship Pirate theme...
