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

You'll usually find your answer there.

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.

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.

Can shaving hair by Veet in our vagina cause diseases?

There's no rule.

Pleas is spelled <pleas> because it's the plural of pleas.

Please is an anglicization of the French word plaisir.

Why do Trump supporters believe Trump should deport the immigrants? These people you call "illegal immigrants" have lived here for many years, they have houses, jobs, how can you think they will just go back to their country, where they have nothing?

Back in the day (circa 1300), it was written <plesen>.

What's (not “whats”) the rule?

Words are pronounced the way that they're pronounced.
