Brief History:
Born on the island of Shizuoka in the East Blue, Izuku's early years were rather uneventful there as the island was peaceful and the East Blue, while rife with problems just like all the seas are, was the weakest of the Blues and thus the safest. The only real thing of note was that at the age of 5 his childhood friend Bakugo Katsuki ate the Kaboom-Kaboom Fruit when it reentered circulation on their island and gained Devil Fruit powers which were seen as cursed due to the limited understanding of Devil Fruits outside of the Grand Line.
Izuku alone didn't shun Katsuki as he was fascinated by Katsuki's power, a fascination that would grow into an obsession with, and desire to learn all about, Devil Fruits, though due to the price, his age, and their rarity he couldn't acquire one himself. Regardless he supported Katsuki even when Katsuki became a bully in response to the ostracization he received, pushing through it for the sake of his friend despite years of torment.
All this changed when a skeletal, mysterious man of indeterminant age who went by the name Might showed up on Shizuoka and Izuku learned that Might had a Devil Fruit power, the only personal thing about Might that Izuku learned. Due to an incident where Izuku stood up for Katsuki he won over Might's trust and faith and the man saw something in Izuku and told him the truth of his Devil Fruit's power, offering it to Izuku as he was worthy of it, something Might had been looking for and why he was traveling the East Blue, which Izuku accepted.
However, it would take 3 years of intensive physical and mental training before Might transferred the Devil Fruit to Izuku, something that had to be kept secret and which only the Power-Power Fruit could do. Upon the transfer, Might took his leave of the East Blue for parts unknown as this was the final stage of his own plans and with Izuku now using his power he could use that to pretend to be dead as he dealt with other things. Only Katsuki, who over this time mended his relationship with Izuku thanks to Might and apologized even if there is still some tenseness, knows the truth.
After all this, and at Might's suggestion, Izuku formed the Might Pirates in his honor while modeling his ship's figurehead and jolly roger after the man and took to the seas with Katsuki as his first mate to make the world a better place in ways the Navy couldn't. Over the next several months Izuku earned a notable reputation in the East Blue dealing with several issues that plagued it much to the Navy's embarrassment while also recruiting several new members. The result was that he earned his first bounty, a 25 million berry one, shortly after Straw Hat Luffy was awarded a 30 million berry one.
Due to Straw Hat Luffy's actions in the East Blue, Izuku was always playing second fiddle to him while both were in the same Blue. This led the Might Pirates to bypass Logue Town and head straight to the Grand Line thus missing the events that occurred while Straw Hat Luffy was there and entering it ahead of the Straw Hat Pirates and taking a different sea route to Sabaody.
Along that route they gained several new crew members and encountered several incidents, two of which made news and upped Izuku's bounty first to Super Rookie status and then to its current 298 million berry amount after he defeated a Warlord and exposed his heinous crimes to the world shortly before reaching Sabaody a few days before the Straw Hats did. Due to his bounty and presence on Sabaody when Straw Hat Luffy assaulted Saint Charloss, Izuku is considered a member of the Worst Generation and holds the 4th highest bounty amongst them. He is one of only 2 Captains with 2 crewmembers who are also in the Worst Generation.
