What's (not “whats”) the rule?
Words are pronounced the way that they're pronounced.
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.

Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.

Pleas is spelled <pleas> because it's the plural of pleas.
There's no rule.
