But that's defining mere "Will" as "free will". "I can choose everything" and "I can choose everything freely" are different. How are your choices not entirely dependent on the natural order of things? We, as humans, can make complex decisions. But that's not at all the same as free decisions. How is our "will" itself any more free than gravity when it comes down to it?
