"Right away" actually has a slightly different meaning. "On my way" is used to express that one has already begun doing an action or has left on their journey. You can use the expressions "en route" or "I'm on it" to express this idea better. Ex: A: Can you pick up some bread from the grocery store? B: On my way! Ex: You asked me to pick up some bread, right? I'm en route.
