Abdullah was a participant in the tournament at the Corrida Colosseum on Dress Rosa. He and Jeet were once bounty hunters, but became members of Ideo’s XXX Gym Martial Arts Alliance after the events on Dress Rosa, joining the Straw Hat Grand Fleet as an ally. This Ideo later reshaped into a pirate gang, which he leads as captain.

Appearance
Abdullah is a strong, tall man with a rather pale complexion. He has a broad chin and a high forehead. He has tied his long black hair into two braids, which hang down on either side of his head. He wears a pair of thin sunglasses, light purple pants which are fastened by two wide brown suspenders, and an armored bracer. He also has three scars on his forehead.
Personality
Abdullah and Jeet share the sadistic commonality of taking pleasure in the pain and sight of their victims, respectively. They also both like to resort to devious methods. During the Battle Royals, for example, Abdullah first drew attention to himself, only for Jeet to then ambush the opponents.
However, since being saved by Usopp, the two vowed to change their lives. They worship Usopp as their god and were also willing to go into battle against Doflamingo for his captain, Luffy, as penance for their sins. When other gladiators, who had also been turned into toys, tried to attack the Straw Hat to get the prize money, Abdullah called them shameless and was angry with them. Jeet and Abdullah had even saved Luffy, Law, and Ucy, which shows that they definitely have decent character as well.
Skills and strength
Due to the fact that he participates in the tournament for the Fire Fruit, it can be concluded that he must be a strong fighter. Thus, he was able to eliminate several fighters of the B block without any problems. Furthermore, his fighting tactics seem to consist of teamwork with Jeet. One of them distracts the opponent, while the second attacks him from behind and surprises him. Two tridents serve as his weapons.
Past
Once he and Jeet were bounty hunters. They were involved in an attack on a government institution.
Present
Corrida Colosseum
He traveled to Dress Rosa with Jeet to compete in the Fire Fruit Tournament at the Corrida Colosseum. He was named in a line with other fighters from Dagama. He fought with Jeet in the B Block against Elizabello II, Tank Lepanto, Hack, Bartolomeo, Ricky, Bellamy, Dagama, Blue Gilly as well as 128 other fighters.
During the Battle Royals, Abdullah and Jeet resorted to underhanded methods and tricks to eliminate their opponents. One of their victims was also Tank Lepanto. However, shortly after, they were attacked by Bellamy, who nailed their feet to the ground with daggers and then grabbed them by the upper jaw before pulling them backwards. Both had thus been defeated in a rather brutal manner.
Life as a toy
After the fighting in Block B, the two were supposed to receive medical attention. However, this was actually a ruse to keep them trapped in an underground dump with all the other participants. Trébol then took people out of there one by one so they could be turned into toys by Sugar to do slave labor for the Donquixote Pirates. Abdullah was turned into a teddy bear in the process.
However, after Usopp managed to give Sugar such a scare that she passed out, all the toys turned back into humans. Hajrudin picked up the wounded Usopp in the process and showed him to all the other people who were saved by him. At the same time, when the ceiling collapsed, causing beams of light to appear behind Usopp as the coliseum above them was damaged, it looked like Usopp had been a messenger from the heavens for the former toys. Jeet and Abdullah witnessed this moment and worshipped Usopp ever since. When the former toys asked what they could do for their savior, he wanted them to destroy the factory behind him. Unfortunately, however, it was protected by Diamante and Trébol.
Alliance against Doflamingo
When Pica’s factory and palace were moved and Doflamingo’s devilish powers forced the islanders to attack each other or Luffy and his friends, Luffy, Zoro and Law set out to take out Doflamingo. Cavendish, Don Chinjao as well as Jeet, Abdullah and many other gladiators from the Corrida Colosseum who had been turned into toys joined the three. Jeet and Abdullah explained that this was to repent for their sins, and to fight for their new god, Usopp. The two rode along with Luffy, Zoro, and Law on Ucy as they all charged to defeat Doflamingo.
Taking a shortcut through the Pica statue, they quickly arrived at the first level of the new royal palace. There they met Kelly Funk, who ostensibly wanted to support them and offered them another shortcut through a tunnel. Jeet and Abdullah were not paying attention and fell off the bull as they ran into the tunnel. They then heard that Kelly Funk had lured the Straw Hat into a trap to get the bounty from him. However, the latter was apparently defeated by Doflamingo, who went into the tunnel shortly after. Jeet and Abdullah rushed to the aid of Luffy and Law and stabbed Doflamingo with their weapons, who turned out to be a thread double. They got the Devil Fruit users out of the water and explained the situation to the Straw Hat, whereupon he created another exit to escape the dead end. Luffy and Law made their way to the next level, with the Straw Hat captain asking Jeet and Abdullah to take care of Ucy, who had been injured by Doflamingo.
Foundation of the Straw Hat Fleet
While Luffy was recovering from his fight against Doflamingo, the former fighters of the Coliseum consulted with each other on how to proceed. Abdullah, Blue Gilly, Ideo and Jeet formed a joint alliance. They also decided to join the Straw Hat Pirates permanently as allies or splinter groups. After Luffy recovered and the navy – led by Fujitora – moved out to capture him, the pirates fled from the navy on Orlumbus’ ship with the help of the civilian population. Once at sea, Cavendish, Bartolomeo, Sai, Hajrudin, Ideo, Leo, and Orlumbus communicated their decision to Luffy.
The exchange of sake bowls was to seal the alliance. Luffy, however, declined as he felt commanding a fleet of several pirate gangs was too uptight. He didn’t want to have supreme command over them, but to continue to allow them their freedom. However, should one of their own ever need assistance, he would rush to help and vice versa should he need their assistance again. The seven leaders were then only more convinced of their resolve, and declared that if they had freedom to do as they pleased, they would still become his allies, no matter what Luffy might say. Thereupon the Straw Hat Grand Fleet was formed. Luffy had a few more objections at first, but ultimately accepted the decision.
The stories of the self-proclaimed Straw Hat Grand Fleet
While traveling across the sea in the ship presented to them by Orlumbus, the alliance encountered two warring ships. Ideo and his companions then defeated the crews of both ships. After thus ending the battle, they learned that the fight was based on a thousand-year rivalry between the Long-Arm and Long-Leg people. They then stopped on an isolated island to build a new ship from the unbroken parts of the old one. They left the island after the new ship was completed, leaving the rival groups behind, uninterested in whether they continued to fight. Eventually, they decided to become pirates, and so the Ideo Pirates was formed, with Ideo as its captain.
Miscellaneous
