The smallest number of pieces is 1 – don't break it up at all. There's something missing from your question, like some kind of restriction on the shape of the pieces or something.

If I were figuring the volume, I'd see it as a block, 2x5x6, with 2 cube-shaped bites taken out of it, 2x2x2. So 
V = 2•5•6 – 2( 2³) = 60 - 16 = 44
