Whats the rule that makes "please" pronounced the same as "pleas"?

There's no rule.
Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.
Words are pronounced the way that they're pronounced.
Can you make a fake K-pop group? It can be with any idols.
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.
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 The Simpsons stopped producing Maude Flanders episodes?
Back in the day (circa 1300), it was written <plesen>.
Pleas is spelled <pleas> because it's the plural of pleas.
What's (not “whats”) the rule?
How do you say "have fun" in French?
