Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.
Pleas is spelled <pleas> because it's the plural of pleas.

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.
