L chewed at the end of his thumb while Kuja spoke. The introduction Kuja was giving was designed to catch the likes of the Noah up to speed. He doubted Ari Emory would have come without educating herself first; she was never one to trust someone else's filters on the information she was presented.
Integra too, although she knew what the Gotei 13 did, she was too deeply entrenched in an off again on again relationship with the Black Order not to be aware of the similar role played by the Gotei Divisions might need certain intricacies elaborated upon.
The Gotei Divisions were diplomatically immune, of course. Hollows didn't care for borders, and squad members were permitted to cross them in the action of their duties. If a squad of Shinigami from Division Five was nearer to a Hollow acting in Galbadia than one of the country's own Shinigami, they were expected to cross the border to deal with it. Rather that than leave innocent lives at risk for the sake of national borders.
Similarly, there was nowhere within their own countries that a Shinigami wasn't permitted to go. Every town and village, no matter how insulated against visitors, made an exception for the Gotei squads.
But in exchange, the Gotei divisions stayed out of regional politics. It would be too easy for a division with political leanings to spy on their enemies, and if the Gotei divisions around Ivalice couldn't act as a cohesive whole, focused on their sole task of eradicating Hollows, then it risked fracturing the entire organisation.
"Gotei members are also supposed to be politically neutral," he said, on the end of Kuja's explanation. "Captain Aizen, however, is a known supporter of the Empire and their interests." Which would make his venturing near Galbadia risky, from a Galbadian perspective.
