Words are pronounced the way that they're pronounced.
What's (not “whats”) the rule?
While you may reasonably ask why words are spelled the way they're spelled, it makes no sense to ask why they're pronounced the way they're pronounced.
Why am I so jealous towards couples? Why am I tired of being single and feel my life is over?
Pleas is spelled <pleas> because it's the plural of pleas.
You'll usually find your answer there.
Whence the <ea> I cannot say but some other words that were spelled <ai> in French are spelled <ea> in English: aise → ease, graisse → grease, fait → feat.
Why do people think Mirko is boring in My Hero Academia?
Back in the day (circa 1300), it was written <plesen>.
Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.
There's no rule.
