We're first introduced to Lasers back in Thriller Bark. When Zoro narrowly avoids a laser beam, he remarks that the resultant explosion has melted an iron bar.
Chapter 485
Lasers are elaborated on in Sabaody later, as Drake calls the Pacifista lasers the replication of Kizaru's attack power. Thus we see that lasers are a proper Admiral-level attack:
Chapter 509
The next bit of hype lasers get are in Punk Hazard, where material built to withstand all kinds of physical attacks is obliterated by Franky's Radical Beam:
Chapter 658
Around Wano, the hype surrounding lasers escalates.
We see Franky aim a laser at Big Mom and instead of attempting to tank it head on, Big Mom grabs a creature to take the laser impact instead:
Chapter 989
Zoro compared an attack he couldn't block to a laser, because he couldn't block it.
In Japanese, it's more clear that Zoro considers lasers in of themselves unblockable, hence the comparison made because of the amazing power of lasers themselves.
Chapter 1032
In Egghead, Edison told a Lunarian to dodge the laser instead of attempting to tank it despite how tough those Seraphim are anyway because they aren't ready for lasers yet. This applies to all the Seraphim:
(Note that we've seen the Seraphim take the strongest attacks that King himself has taken without injury like the Death Lion Song, except in S-Hawk's case he also took a Rankyaku storm on top of it.)
Chapter 1065
Up to this point, there was a strong implication written in by Oda that lasers could absolutely hurt some of the most durable characters in the series with him strategically avoiding such characters having to take a laser head on and making most other characters dodge, or use their regeneration (Marco) to heal through the damage done.
And Sanji with his Power of Love and flipped brows blocked that. Lasers were a fairly "protected" move in One Piece and Sanji gets the hype to block it definitely as a landmark feat of the series.
Chapter 1107
This is acknowledged by the characters in the story and is highlighted heavily with the character reactions as a major feat.
