"will" is the capacity of a sentient agent to realize intent-- for example, I don't really know how to "move" a leg-- I want it to move, and it moves.
Then the will falls under the constraint of intended realization. Moreover, are your intentions freely wrought? How can any of this be considered free?
Your argument is akin to a man held within a cell proclaiming that he holds the willful capacity to freely move about his environs all for the effort of denying his ambient constraints.
At best....it's superficial.
