It is said that is much much much stronger than before.(Ofcourse he has some power of ophis and some body great red.)

I dont know how many pieces he has. But i think he has still 8 because it was said that Rias put back the pawn piece in order Issei to be part of her team. And in past episode/volume/chapter Rias said that Issei will be his only pawn so maybe he put all the 4 pieces of pawn again to him :].

Sorry got poor english speaking :]
